Hello guys,
I knew sound rendering was a problem but I started to notice it beeing bigger and bigger problem. In the last 10 battles I played I was killed by an enemy standing like 100-200 meters away from me and I couldn’t even see nor hear him. Today a video from Gladiator came out about this topic where he shows how bad the sound quality/rendering really is. Heck even the graphical rendering of the enemies is wrong. Gaijin could you please finally fix this? This is a problem that occurs for the last couple of years and with every update it gets even worse. Here below I post the video from youtube. Thanks and let me know what do you guys think.

Rendering (and sound) being tied to keen vision/awareness is a joke and should be removed form RB/SB.

Thing is, then you’d have people able to see everyone everywhere all the time…
Ideally, all player tanks/aircraft should be rendered at all times for everyone (within reason)
Tying something like rendering to screw skills is wild, and it doesn’t make anything better.
It’s the way it’s been for AGES…
The issue with this is that you’re naive.
Finally people are waking up for the fact War Thunder is not that accurate vehicle fighting game as they say.

And what is your point? It should still be changed since it doesn’t do anything but cause issues.
Can you elaborate? If it leads to performance issues, cap the distance, and only render vehicles you are facing towards.

I can’t elaborate because it relates to the purpose of why it’s done in this manner and the principal of server-sided mechanics.
But further to this, who knows that it’s including sound as well? Or is this just a perpetuated thought that has now become taken as a truth?
(Edit - Well, I am now watching Gladiators video and that is pretty intriguing.)
Yes, It became so annoying since the last update. This mechanic was at some point manageable before, and didn’t punish so hard right now.
We should create a bug report and upvote that. What the video shows is not just crew skill it is literally a bug.
The more I think about it, I come to the conclusion that something has changed and bugged the mechanic.

I noticed that recently something is wrong with the sound.
That’s the video the OP provided.
Congrats on instantly linking it up after merely 20 seconds of watching it.
I watched the whole thing.
More of the silliness getting the spotlight
