New realistic SFX for guns and engines

[soft temple]

If we can claim, it is that the SFX of the game won't stay in memories..

At the time on PC we got mod to change the SFX by new ones, far better ones made by the community, and taken from real engines and barrels. But for some reasons, certainly jealousy, WG pc made impossible those mods to work arguing they were creating issues with the game..

I have done SFX mods for various others games by the past and, frankly, a game with great sound is just a pleasure to play, especially a big guns and engines one like wot.

I know, i am aware that like all others topics this suggestion will be ignored but, i would like to make fellows thrills a little.

Here some samples i did about two years ago

The sounds are realistic. Remember the tank crew has headphone/ear protection.🙉

[soft temple]

Thanks. Yeah i wanted to push it till the end of the barrel or stroke 😂

The sounds in game are recorded directly from real life tanks.

There is one for the gun audio too but I didn't find it. Its the same as above but with booms and explosions from all different distances.

They’re getting older and outdated compared to WT, which they change every so often

I mean, a tank doesn't change its sound over time, it will always sound the same.

Changing the sound means it would no longer sound like it actually sounds like IRL. Unless that is what you are asking for.

Wouldn’t it be good if you Guys Redo it every few years? Better mic equipment better pcs,-Ext

So here is my question; sorry if i sound direct : How did they succeed to fail so much the recording/post-treatment with all these means ?

The ingame sound coding is too basic : Guns need echoes, and the sounds should be different depending the place where your tank is, like in a street or a plain. For that you should create sound-boxes with special spreading properties that will cover such areas.

Turning turret need a sound file by the way, like ramming events.

You could improve the shells impacts on armor.

I mod games for years, especially for sound. Nothing hard to do.

The things you are asking are already game features that we've added.

That was implemented in this update: https://modernarmor.worldoftanks.com/en/cms/news/update-notes-march-26/

Dynamic audio support was added for reverberation and echoes. These effects will be subtle and based on your camera position to support a more immersive audio experience during gameplay.

• Reverberation will occur in close-range, high-reflection environments like tunnels, bridges, and narrow urban corridors.
• Echo will occur in medium-range, high-reflection environments like wide urban corridors.

The guy is asking for your improvements, not what we already have

Our one is a deformed copy from PC

Why not have a better one thats original?

[earnest shard]

We just want renewed Sfx

From every tank

Not just one heavy with a gas burner and diesel medium, Light-Ext

I mean like sounds from a M4, PZIV, M1A2, M103A2 you get the idea

To make it more realistic

[soft temple]

Absolutely 👍.
Even if using a good specs headset i barely hear about those reverberations effects. It is so tiny..
Is that a wargame, after all ?

[grand nest]

Well, technically its a wargamble lol, we never knows what will happen about this game heh

I saw Starsector mods with better sound work then this game

[soft temple]

Or there is a solution : Use IA tools to generate by deep learning samples of sounds from libraries. Just add some adjustments.

It is the better solution as some engines, guns.. simply only existed in blueprints.

[soft temple]

A clever studio would not hesitate, especially when it comes from its community. It is free, very well done and often better than the 5 stars entries, and it creates a bond with that same community, then a reputation all around. It creates wealth and improve the game..
Just positive.

Yeah, mods are a great thing to be allowed in games

Oh idea, what if World of Tanks Console allows mods to be installed in the game?
