It’s been more than 1 week. Do we have any news on when will the mods be re-enabled?

We are back in the great sound mod depression. Gaijin, just let us use our sound mods and just make us check a button on the client, saying that we understand that sound mods are updated at the author’s discretion and can cause instability

Is there a possibility that we can get a time frame for this. weeks months even? my enjoyment of this game has gone down significantly without my sound mods. I’m all for the new systems you guys want to put in place. but disabling the mods for all because a select few players were having issues isn’t fair. At the end of the day they are sound MODS. its up to YOU and the creator of said mod to make sure they work.

Necronomica and Stona patrol the forums every day, quickly shutting down our complaints and steering us toward this thread. But as I’m sure you’ve all noticed, they’ve never once engaged in a back-and-forth exchange here that could even be called a discussion.
You have no room to talk, you have built in aim assist.

Not only do console players have aimbots, they have wallhacking aimbots, if that one hackusation that was quickly disproven from some time back is anything to go by.
We don’t but okay.
It’s called aim holding, all it does is hold the point in which your aiming.
And oc can do it too.
I do have “news”. They will be back “soon”, “in a few weeks” but they “dont have a precise date” for when they’ll be re-enabled. Info found on OPEX’s discord server, coming from the sound dev(s) at gaijin. Ofc the actual community managers or whatever their roles are called are just silent… Way to earn your paycheck…

yeah if it goes on for months I’m gonna be sad. i stand by my take that the sound design in this game (especially for aircraft) is actually not good what so ever. The stock rwr is a genuine pain to listen to
The game’s sound has been mid at best for years. At worse (which is most of the time) it just doesn’t work at all. Then you have sound modders coming up with better stuff all the time despite the fact that they dont have nearly as much resources as the gaijin dev(s). Go figure how can this happen. Also PLEASE reduce RWR sound… 5 minutes of hearing it while playing the last event gave me ear damage…
day 21 of the ban, still no news…
No no, there are news!
Every single engine sound at any br and any nation is now even worse than it used to be. Worse than it used to be a year ago before they “fixed it” a few patches ago. 100% of the times i die now is always to people that i cannot hear. Most of the time they only make engine noise after shooting me. You know, the usual. No mods. No nothing. Just the pure hot garbage vanilla sounds that never work. Matter of fact, the sound does work perfectly.
Again and again i told them, the issue does not come from the sound itself, but rather rendering. 4 tickets that I sent in, where i kept telling the so called “Community managers” the issue does not appear in the replays. Why? Because everyone is rendered near you. And everytime my tickets were closed cuz “muh where replay.” (yes they can’t read).
They are either unfathomably clueless and incompetent or they are acting in bad faith, trying to hide hidden/broken and unfixable game mechanic.
But hey, heres a few more new premiums for you guys to buy!
PS: The “community managers” handling the tickets are mostly volunteers, they don’t even work at gaijin. They most of the time are the reason why tickets don’t get to devs because they are too lazy to go beyond their generic list of “requirements” for accepting tickets. They literally tell you to your face “sorry i got other things to do in my personal life” but when you call them out “oopsie doopsie im just a volunteer please be gentle”. Keep that in mind before wasting your time and sending in a ticket.

I would be ok with the sound ban if you gave us options for past sound updates because Gaijin can never settle on sounds for more than one update.
or if Gaijin actually did the job the modders are doing.
For example aircraft specific RWR sounds or replacing placeholder VWS.
Typhoon sounds terrible with the generic RWR and American VWS
