"vanilla" sound and sound mods

id like to talk a bit about sound, mainly about the fact that vanilla sound are awful (sometime enemies dont make a single noise while engine is on or even moving (mostly abrams and T-series)) when sound is important on ground (german main will call it a lie /j) i dont even understand why this kind of issue is in the game.

since vanilla sound are REALLY bad, people then use sound mods which is really nice, it makes the game more realistic or sound “a bit louder”, and fix the fact that some vehicles are just silent.
while it doesnt change that much in air (like jets engine or RWR/VWS for more realism), it does make the game more enjoyable when playing ground, or even in general.
i mainly play air, while not being the greatest player of all time, sometime i like to play ground because i like some tanks and want to grind for them (im terrible at ground), its just not fun to get pushed by a silent bmpt or others vehicles and get killed because game said no sound for you.
“erm but using sound mod is cheating, thats not fair”, some say yes, some say no, in the end the sound mods are disabled since i dont remember and its just sad, surely we’ll get them back when the update drop, right ? :)

to end my yapping, id like to ask when sound will get a “revamp”, and when sound mods will be back, if they ever will be back.

In before the lock! I can’t wait for it to be enabled again, but it’s being worked on…like many other items…

its been like this for years now tho

The vanilla sounds? Yes I agree. Currently when playing a SPAA, I can’t determine where aircraft are…I can hear them, but I can’t tell if they are low, high, above…etc.

They sound mod was enabled briefly end of May and just as quickly “disable” due to issues.

they were supposed to be back by the end of may, yes they did come back for a week and disabled but now were like mid june and still nothing

you should still be able to use sound mods, just not through the usual way. Replace the content of your sounds folder with the sound mod and it should work perfectly

Yeah ive been using mine that way

Its does come with some risk since you’re technically modifying the game to circumvent something intended by the developers.
