[SUGGESTION] Replace default weapon sounds #44

Open TwistedTail opened 4 years ago

Short Description

It's well known that the current weapon sounds are terrible. It'd be nice to get a replacement for these so weapons don't sound like a toy.

I had a few minutes of video on this posted a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYSS-K1DJOQ

A lot of my selection has been from comparing,

  1. the type of gun in its category (what do I think the barrel/recoil mechanism sounds like: it needs to be distinct from eachother)
  2. the strength of its ammunition
  3. the caliber
  4. overall sound quality
  5. repeatability (will this be annoying to listen to if I keep hearing it over and over again)

In general I focused on mainly giving higher calibers sounds with a deeper bass note.

For now I ignored the machineguns, heavies and RACs since I figured they already have okay-ish sounds (despite all of them sounding the same). Really though, I can't reliably decide what to do with those particular types of guns.

I should add that while most of the sounds presented in the video come shipped with acf3 already (as the warthunder sounds), some come from gnomefather (in acf2)

Of course this is also no means a perfect selection, as there may be inconsistencies either in sound quality between caliber, sounds belonging to different guns, or whether a sound should be shared by two guns, so revisions may be necessary.

Not to mention steve's inevitable changes of magazine weapons.
