I’ve tried most of the Tier X medium and heavy tank guns on test 2, and I gotta say I don’t get the whining. The 100/105 mm guns sound great, especially with the echo effects and the crack of the high-velocity rounds. The heavy guns a bit less impressive for some reason, but still good. I can’t comment on the big TD and SPG guns, because I don’t play them, but they work for me in meds.

Ok, so 9.1 Sounds:

and then 9.4 sounds. The 9.1 170mm and 183mm are very bass-y and thunderous, while the new ones are very very limp in comparison. Downright flappy even.

They are far better than the test 1. They could use some tweaks, but the direction they are going is the right one.

Time to swap that old Pentium IV with 32-bit XP from 2004 to a more modern one? Only if you plan on playing games, of course.

I like them! They have more of that distinct CRACK sound…I want to hear velocity sounds of rounds.

Korreborg well the sounds are kinda lame because of the recording equipment. You need either something to sound perfect, or a team of audio artists to modify it.

That is not the exact real sound of a Leo in those videos you posted. Why? because different microphones record sound different and totally different if you change position of recording.
Take a look at this video. It’s a PKM, but imagine if it was a T-80 doing the shooting. http://vimeo.com/20869893
Look at 1:06 and compare it with 1:35 and 1:43. That is a PKM, recordings are 5m to the right and the result is 3 totally different PKM sound samples. And we’re not even talking about other positions such as let’s say audio recording directly about gun barrel.

Do you understand now why the videos you posted does not mean anything at all?
If WG has a serious team of sound artists (which i doubt) then they picked the crappies sounds they’ve recorded. That’s why DICE had a freaking dozen of microphones ready. To pick the best possible sound sample.

WG take probably was :

- hey let’s record some tank sounds!
- fk yea!!
- cool get your iphone 6 and let’s record some shit!

Wargaming sound department.
