Silent tanks?

Out of curiosity, has there been any word from the developers as to whether they'll be able to do anything about the overly stealthy tanks in RO?

In this regard, the game isn't even vaguely close to real life. You'll hear the squeaky mechanical noises well before you'll hear the engine, and in real life you certainly not get run over by a tank because you didn't hear it coming. Same thing for half-tracks even.

I've been fortunate enough to be out in the field as a reenactor when WWII vintage armor has been around, and I can say that it certainly gets your attention.

They nail it pretty well in that one episode of Band of Brothers.
 
True.

Argh, stupid engine limits

Shame about the sound system being so terrible... I mean, you can hear bayonet stabs and voices from across the map but you can't hear a tank that's less than 100 metres away.

Is there absolutely no way to fix it? No way to prioritise it over other sounds?
Hehe, yes one thing I don't understand either... :D
