So there is a problem with sound and detection in war thunder

what the actually heck it makes sense now getting killed by a tank you NEver saw or heard

There’s been a bug with non-stereo modes for years.
It’s why I explicitly tell people to select stereo in audio settings, and wear standard featureless headphones.
No fake surround, no noise cancelling.
Standard left right.

Also there are already topics on this subject.

so getting killed by a tank you never saw or heard is a legit thing and not a skill issue just gaijin

I’ve been playing with stereo sound since 2019 and have had zero sound bugs because of it.
My headphones cost $30, and their only flaw is their hinge is made of plastic and broke.

Of course I’m also on PC using Windows.

The “worst” engine sound was USH, but even when people had issues with that tank I still heard it because it still made sound with the in-game settings I was using.

Gaijin should abandon surround sound settings and focus entirely on stereo sound.
