Updated gun sound effects are terrible, revert back!

Why do the sound effects, especially gun and machine gun sounds, get changed every update???

I swear these are not even completely new, they are just rotating between ‘metallic clang’ and ‘big boom’ type gun sounds every few update.

But somehow the current update is unbearable…
The new sound of 50cals is extremely annoying.

Who needs this?

Do the WT team think we get bored and need “new” gun sounds?

Make it a customizable option but dont do this…

I honestly didn’t notice the difference with 109s from cockpit so far.

Some are fine but some are definitely terrible, my Ouragan’s M50s sound like .50s used to sound

The 20mils on the A2D-1 sound like a kid beatbox imitating the gun…

ima be honest, i do use soundmod (RCSM)
but in dev server i dont use the soundmod
when i flew the F190F8 for testing the missiles, the 13mm and 20mm sounded the same just with a different rate of fire

Adding my 2 cents and quoting my other replies from the update thread. Especially expand the second one, as I have been collecting various other opinions, and specifically complaints about “how distant” some of the sound effects are. Especially in Ground Realistic Battles:

I like them although I find it odd that shooting a maverick sounds like im shooting a German 88 or sum

And for some comedic relief 🤣

Yeah man, sounds in ground battles are absolutely crashed. They spoiled both the sounds itself and tuning. I almost cant hear guns in 300 meters from me! One question to sound team: Why?! Why you do sound worse?! To make vision of work for your boss? There was normal, working and fine sound system! Why you crashed it?!

Hard disagree. Big guns sound extra chonky. Especially Object279s 130mm.

I like the new gun sounds. Not just the firing, more so the reloading. Before the sounds of autoloaders and the mechanical thunks of a sliding breach were muted and you couldn’t really hear them well. Now you can --hear-- FEEL them, although they do still need some work, it is still a major improvement over what they were.
Not a great big fan of the sound of distant autocannons though, not as satisfying as they could be. And for something is quite large compared to machine guns they barely feel punchier.

My favorites by far are the carousel autoloaders and the 30mm adens.
