dont worry, i just got killed by a KVT that was sitting on top of a hill 100 meters in front of me and i didnt even hear him drive up.
And before yall say that “no he was there the entire time” he wasnt.
Gaijin devs are doing the classic gaijin dev thing of fixing something so hard that they go to the polar freakin opposite of “balanced”
When a gas turbine engine is quieter than a leo2 something is DRASTICALLY wrong.
Is your setting for engine volume low as can be and all others are high, also is it really noisy when you first spawn?
Both yes
For some reason Ka50/52 produces less noise than any other single rotor helicopter. Ka50/52s should produce more noise since it has dual main rotor.
The latest sound changes suuuuuuuck, aircraft are essentially silent until about 900m which is stupid af.
Im having gun fire bugs i cant hear my own planes shooting or bombs when they land next to me, even worse tanks shooting next to me cant hear, whatever that update was at the beginning of the week screwed some stuff up. Not having a great time :(
The issue is they tend to make some files too quiet compared to others. I noticed this when you listen to different sounds in the GitHub that’s run by Gaijin. You have old files, new ones, etc. Even sounds you rarely hear in the game like Wind, background ambiance per map, bird sounds, etc. However, all of these are either disabled or so drastically lowered in a game that it is incredibly muted.
Sound was reverted back to the way it used to be. I can actually hear now instead of hearing some Russian engine like the tank is sitting right next to me instead of a kilometer away. I can actually hear the people in my Discord talking now instead of just ENGINE.
A gas turbine engine is quieter than the big honkin’ diesel in a Leo 2.
The Abrams is called ‘The Whispering Death’ because of how famously quiet its engine is, it is certainly quieter than a diesel engine.
It is so annoying, literally cannot hear anything till i get a shot on me all because the enemy tank simply did not make a single sound.
spoiler
he was 10~ meters behind me…
Another one was a Bradley firing next to me making zero sound, i only noticed him because a teammate shared his position.
If honestly you are better off using a sound mod, hopefully gaijin won’t break them any time soon.
Happened to me Too Man They Destroy The GR In The Event !! Why !!! Sound’s Suck’s Now They Must Return To Old Sound’s Game Unplayable now
pepega
Had the same thing happen to me today. T80U was driving like 20-30m behinde me around a corner and shot me. There was no engine sound.
Whatever this is I don’t speak it.
Happens all the time, get sneaked up by some light tanks all the time now and they don’t make a single sound up until they start firing.
I use audio cues a lot to play War Thunder and since the last major update I saw a major difference in my performances in game because I get sneaked up on a lot more now cause I can’t hear a tank revving on the other side of a fucking bungalow even when it’s quiet in the part of the map I’m at.
They must’ve fucked up something with keen vision because I have even video proof of vehicles not being rendered in the game up until they get “detected” by someone’s crew.
Great mechanic…
The same bug has been in the game foralmost 1 year, admins don’t care about the game anymore
Same here, just had a bmp 10 meter behind me, his engine did not make any sound before he started shooting me. Also the engine sounds are not a bug its part of keen vision, one of the million things that make this game more unrealistic than wot
