Great game - 2 issues though :(

Please, let me jump in here and make a comment about this sound issue.
What are you looking/listening for? The higher up in the sky you go, the less sound you will hear. Now, that's very realistic.
You want birds and squirrels? Hey, it's a battlefield and the animals have all run like hell. They're not stupid.
Get yourself down to ground level and listen, just like you were a real soldier.
The sounds are there. It's as real as it gets.
Use hear phones if you really want an experience... Sony makes ear buds for about $20 and are worth every penny.

Mater of fact, this is the most realistic war game I have every played. It's fantastic!

Yes, I do realize that the futher up you go, the quieter it gets. But unless im zoomed in right on top of the tanks, I dont hear squat. Not trying to start a pissing contest to anything, but I do work around tanks in real life, and them things are loud as heck, even from a good distant away, especially when they fire their main cannons, or the MG's on them. But, like I said, maybe its just me, or my speaker set up, not sure. Just seeing if anyone else noticed this at all.

Maybe try to watch a few gameplay vids:

If they sound the same as for you in-game.
Ofcourse tanks in-game are not going to ear damage you, but I really don't have any problems regarding the volume.

recently did the 3rd german campaign mission where its the fuel depot.

i told my driver to drive he wos on the road then he just drove into the fuel tanks and i failed the mission.

is it just me or do they suck at driving.

Whoa, firefox83, I meant no disrespect at all. You may need to adjust your sound system. I have two speakers at the present time so stereo is all I get. If you have surround sound, try going into their adjustments and try a few things.

Sorry if you took what I said the wrong way...

My point was to mean that they have done an excellent job with the sounds, IMO.

Sorry about that too, just reread what I wrote. Wasnt trying to sound like a ass, but guess I did.

I do agree that the sound is good, but it just seems to die off too fast. It could be my speakers, but I know when I some out more then a few feet, I pretty much loose are sounds. When Im zoomed in though, it sounds like Im driving a real tank. Even rattled a few items off of my shelf, so had to turn the speakers down.

Ill go back thorugh and check my settings as well, maybe I forgot something somewhere. Thanks

This is truly a great game, but the sounds are not the greatest. I put on LotRME right after, and actually the sounds where loads better on that, they do seem to cut off if you move out slightly.

For SHOWW2 someone did a sound mod that added a soundtrack to the game, it was wonderful :

Hope someone gets down and does something similar for this game..
