Tanks a little weak in the ear?

[araub]

Hey, great mod I love it, and cant wait for patch. But whenever I play a tank map, it seems that the tank isnt loud at all. I mean it is as loud as a person riding a bike right next to me. Does anyone else notice this? I mean it should be atleast close to defaning. Am I wrong?

 

[Vadin]

yeah that is one thing about war games they have to have all the sounds around the same level I think because otherwise if you had to have your volume down then all of a suddon an explosion goes off it would be way to loud.

 

[Deathsai]

WWIIOL tanks have reasonably loud engines. You don't want realistically loud engines in this game. Why? Because it's ****ing impossible to hear people on Teamspeak when your engine is roaring next to you.

 

[SiFi]

It's not a mod, it's a game ;P

 

[Musketeer]

Since I prefer not to play my games with ear protection on I have no problem with the tank sounds. You may notice that after an evening spent firing thousands of rounds of ammunition in game, to say nothing of grenades and artillery, you can still hear?

If you wanted truely accurate sounds you would come away from a night of RO deaf as a post.

Wanna say that again if you had a full 5.1 sound system with a subwoofer turned on with maximum bass? Now that's loud.

We should be able to hear tanks from much farther away, but loudness is just a practical thing.

The tanks should also be kicking up a lot more dust that stays in the air much longer, which is always a dead giveaway that a tank is there, but again practical concerns (would ground a lot of systems to a halt)

t-34s had metal tracks that could be heard like a mile away. i think they should make tanks louder but not too loud to where we cant hear teamspeek

Pardon!what? did you say something? (c:

I would really like to be able to hear a tank from further away. Especaily one right around the corner of a building from my avatar.

Also I would prefer louder 'track sounds' over engine sounds as I find the track sounds very immersive in war movies.

[Raptus]

Yep, the tanks should be louder. It would add a lot to the immersion and it would also be realistic that you can hear the tanks approaching. At the moment you can hear infantrys foot steps from inside the tank, it makes it harder to creep behind a tank.

 

[Nebfer]

Well Ive been ran over due to a "stealth" tank sneking up on me...

so tanks shule be a bit louder at lest so that you can hear them at lest 50 feet away you know -insted if 10...

 

[Tanis]

Yeah, I currently have no issue with how loud the tanks are, as I'm grateful the next morning insofar as that I can still hear.

But, I they need to up the distance that tanks are heard from. Nothing more annoying than running around as an infantryman in maps like Arad, running around a building, and coming face to face with a moving tank.

In real life, not only would you have HEARD the bastard half an hour before, but you would know where they were, due to vibrations in the ground.

Or do the Devs want me to believe that a 60 tonne hunk of metal runs around as quietly as a kitten on carpet?



Just kidding. Love you devs!

 

[krylosz]

The devs stated that it's impossible to make the tanks louder and heard from farther away, because of limitations of the UE2.5 engine. I hope they find a workaround sometime.

 

[Reise]

I hope they do also. The tanks need to be groundbreakingly loud, and yes loud enough to disrupt teamspeak, because that's realism hehe. I'd love to have realistically loud tanks simply because right now it's possible for one to sneak up on me while i'm on foot. Tank and sneak don't belong in the same sentence, let alone in a videogame based around realism.

Also when one drives by it should blur the screen a little to simulate being disoriented by the sound.

It would be cool if they could do that. Or, at least make the sounds relative to each other. For example, normally a rifle would be loud in game. But if there's an explosion or a tank driving by, that'll be loud while the rifle sounds would be made soft temporarily. Just an idea.

I'd prefer simply having an option to make explosions and tank sounds louder.

i agree, hope they think about this in the ue3 RO

Didnt know tanks had ears?

Don't be silly. Of course tanks have ears.

I think a good fix for the tank noise would be the old playing card in the spokes trick. That would be cool.

Can you find the quotation?

In my oppinion the silent tanks issue should be on high priority.
