Boom Library Assault Weapons as main source, per chance? :D

I thing it sounds neat and quite consistent overall (only judging by this and the previous video), two things that stuck out to me:
○ Inconsistent stereo width: Some shots have a stereo mechanics layer (which sounds a bit odd to me, given that the mechanics are not next to, but in front of you), while others sound more centered.

○ The launchers have some sort of "fade-in" whoosh, which takes away from the impact of the otherwise neatly-designed actual shots for me personally.

Edit: Props for not simply running everything into the limiter :D

Boom Library indeed, though some sounds like part of the RPG ignition sound came from a video on YouTube of a guy firing fireworks haha! I'm currently working on getting all my sounds into the same Ableton project so I can structure it more neatly. I frankly didn't even think about the stereo width at all, so I'm definitely going to take that feedback to heart and go back into my samples to make changes. As for the launchers, I am currently working on new sounds for them. I bought a couple of very cool metallic sounds from sound snap of a mortar being fired and I want to somehow implement that into the RPG-7. I'm still very new to all this stuff though, so at point I'm mainly throwing random stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks! Thanks for the feedback, I'm a huge fan of the vanilla sound design, best its ever been in the series and makes me even more excited for A4!

In case you're generally new to using DAWs (instead of e.g. using Ableton for music and now also sound design), I'd highly recommend giving Reaper a look. It's got a very generous free, unrestricted trial and even the license itself is comparably cheap. I'm bringing it up because Ableton arguably is one of the worst contenders for Sound Design due to its somewhat limited rendering capabilities (and a general workflow that more caters towards music production).
That being said, the best DAW is the one you can work with, soo... :D
