It's time for a sound overhaul to match the other great updates!

Let me start by saying I love the sim and hope to play it many years more. I happily bought multiple content packs and collector planes. I love what you did with the clouds...

And I think you could really enhance the experience drastically by giving the sound design a work over. Something like enhanced gun and explosions would be just as significant an improvement as any visual upgrade. Things like engines could come later.

 

I feel like the current sound design is feeling thin and aged relative to other contemporary games. Does anyone else agree? I hope this message gets picked up.

I would like them to change the failing engine sound, is there since Rise of Flight (2009). Those ww2 engine can't have the same failing sound as ww1 crates. Inline, radiar or rotary ,damege and failing should sound diffrent.

The Mg 151/20s and Mg FF sound good in the cockpit but in external view they seem a bit... wet. I don't know how else to describe it. It feels like they should be a little more percussive. 

[JG27_Arklight]

Agreed. The sounds need an overhaul, especially the weapons. 

[III/JG52_Al-Azraq]

I completely agree, sound is very often a dimension that gets forgotten in games but it adds a lot the immersion. We shouldn't forget guns either, so important! They are not satisfactory at all right now, especially .50 cal and that include tracers and impacts.

 

Also, .50 cal shouldn't fire perfectly in sync.

Agreed. Some of the Soviet planes sound like jumped up lawnmowers in the cockpit view. I'd say that many of the more recent aircraft (from BoBP onward) sound pretty good and the 109s generally also are good.

I agree, weapons, explosions, but also maybe engines too.

All the weapon sounds in CLOD have always sounded superior to BOX.
