Theres a very big difference between how guns sounds in real life vs. through a microphone

Im liking the new sounds. Soviet 125mm sound pretty much like how I remember them from NATO days in Ostrava.

The amount of people who have an opinion on gun sounds but never even held one is honestly baffling. If we wanted to be “realistic” the bigger guns wouldn’t even make a sound to you the person you’d just instantly start regaining hearing… with a ring to it. Then there’s rifle rounds in closed in spaces also doing this.
So next update anything above a 75mm causes instant and full tinnitus along with the screen loses focus. Also 7.62 and up does this in enclosed spaces. Sound good everybody?

Previous years, NATO days in Ostrava officialy began with ceremonial shot from our T72M4CZ. You didnt as much heard it as felt it through your body. Once it caught me offguard because I didnt look at time and I nearly soiled myself then and there.
And that ceremonial shot was fired from “safe distance” of some 100m.

I’d love to see how many people would complain if they made the M240 sound realistic lol it sounds like a .22 right now but these guys would think it sounds like an autocannon if they heard it in real life

Says the guy that was complaining that the .50 cal sound isnt realistic
I just played ground but only the big-caliber tanks, I quite like it.

I disagree, I think the game has sounded more enjoyable than ever (from the rank V-VIII ground and air i’ve been playing), my only gripe is the changes made to the BMP/BMD’s 2A72, which sounds stupidly loud and gives you position away

Funny, since the GSH-23 on the Mi-35s sounds genuinely amazing, odd they chose to use different sounds

I don’t mind them changing the gunsounds every update, what I not like is making every gun from planes be it rifle caliber machines guns and cannons all sounding the same.
They also changed the sound of bullets whizzing by I think, I like that new sound, just a little more loud and present.

i like the new sounds, theres a few sounds that need some tweaking but most of them sound really nice and seem to be more diverse in comparison to the previous sounds
something that needs an upgrade however is bullets passing by from 30mm cannons, sounds like a soft rain while it should be some kind of sudden whistle
i was attacked by an helicopter and both the rockets striking the ground and the rumbling of the camera made it look and feel very powerful while in the previous patch it was like hand grenades exploding around you

I like the tank ones but a lot of the plane ones are just weird. They made them sound like you’re hearing them from far away and you aren’t the one piloting the plane

No one here talked about realism.
The topic is why do the gun sounds get changed every update.
we should just normalise the use of sound mods, say have u guys tried RWSM? it’s peak
Plenty of people talked about how they sound unrealistic and shitty so um yeah they kinda did bud
new sounds are amazing, especially for ground forces
The updated sound of an artillery strike is particularly disgusting.
