HT and crew I appreciate the work that has gone into and still going into the game, I am not knocking the game at all. I just have not been playing as much as I use to because of the sounds of the game and I am very frustrated with the GV part. I have always played all parts of the game, fly, guns, ships, especially GV's but as of late the GV part has not been holding any interest for me so when I get bored of flying I just log, one less player on line.
I don't know why you chose the sound format that you did but I am sure you had a reason, AH2 had many sound packs available that customers made that would have helped with some of the issues with the sound for GV's, so far with the new format not one sound pack has been made, my guess due to the fact of they format in witch they need to be made in is very difficult and time consuming to do. I hope you have plans in the near future to re evaluate the GV sounds.
1. the sound needs a major tweaking or re working. very hard to tell the direction of the shot and the difference sound wise between the shell hitting and the report of the shot, both sound about the same. It is no fun at all when you spawn in and don't hear any sound and just end up in the tower, no shot, no thud on the hull just tower, with the lack of cover how are you suppose to bust a camp if you don't even know where they are shooting from. The no sound just tower part either driving or spawning is just insane and a game breaker for me.
2. tracers, it is not bad enough with the sound of the game but not even seeing what direction the shots are coming from is no fun.
3. when and air plane is within 2k of you the sound from them drowns out the 10 GV's approaching you, I have had tanks pull right up next to me and never heard them coming.
I don't want to mention other games but how are you suppose to pull in the Tanking crowd if the basic sounds are lacking.
