2 years ago Hello! Uh, quite a lot ) Thank you for gather here all your suggestions. Sorry for I still did nothing on them although you suggested some of them long time ago. I like them mostly, but needed to postpone them since we had a lot of tasks on sound.
I know I wrote this before for a several times, but, I'll return to those topics after the upcoming major patch ) Thank you again for your suggestions, they really about to improve game sound, I completely understand this.

Hello! I'm not really sure what future plans you have guys, but let me stop by around some ideas gathered here for several years.
Corrected engine events for tanks - fixed most misused tank engines and corrected forgotten ones based on our list, you can ignore low tier tanks, however most points have been explained in that topic
Corrected ATGM list- also based on list this is only subjective suggestion most of misused stuff is fixed, but still here for the sake of diversity
Rapid explosiove sounds for guns with rpm above 1500-2000 w/caliber 20mm and above - pretty much selfexplanatory, I think this is missed opportunity to make more depth and sound reward for brrt guns or close to it rpm wise
Helicopters desperately needs ai sounds per engine - code land is ready for implementing these sounds since 2019(?), Helicopters are big thread on the battlefield and knowing what type of heli flying to rush tanks is useful and must have feature.
All aviation really needs new Rocket launch and ATGM launch sounds, right now this is extremely simple sound that plays in exterior and doesn't even have interior version. This is undewhelming at most.
Reload sounds diversity - we have some new reload sound for top tier tanks, but never had anything for small and high caliber cannons, sound event for howitzers even existing in sound list but never used in the game, which is actually plays big role for immersion and depth, but I don't think all tanks should have one exact same reload sound, so just split reloads from 37mm to 57mm as small, 75mm to 120mm as mid and 130mm to 152mm as big.
Parameter for shell extracting - big amount of tanks using auto-loader while sharing interior sounds with other tanks, this simple idea is just prevent playing shell extraction layer while shooting from cannons with auto-loader
Parameter for open-top tanks or glass cannons - exact same as previous one but with exception of using some internal layers, obviously tanks like Chi-ha LG/Ho-Ro or Flak w/kwk43 cannot sound like shoot was made from enclosed turret.
Prevent hearing interior noises right after switching from sight to exterior view, this is very old suggestion: people almost never hearing hard work of exterior cannon shots because after switching from sight to exterior, you can hear only interior noises. In other words blend interior with exterior noises. Made little video explaing the main idea

Currently it's not possible due to how sound spawn system works: when you start moving after shot sound source goes away

Directional bullet cracks w/ working distance, this small detail not only adds extra immersion, but you can hear approximate direction of the shot.
This one is a bit experimental, but noticing in what direction you made some engine sounds, this should make it alot more easier. Spawn at same time interior and exterior engine sounds for your tank, because if you want to make "fake gear" change it will play all over again after switching from interior, built-in rpm system is well, not really intended for tanks nor making it sound like real counterpart, most studios just slapping one sample across all rpm field and calling it a day, most importantly it works.
