It's NOT Your Fault You Died!

Turns out WarThunder has quite a few issues when it comes to Sound and Detection!
Please Gentlemen, let's stay Respectful, and hope Game Devs Fix all these things mentioned in the vid.

they just need a Classified document about tank sounds

[Zenturion]

this game's vision/audio mechanics(yes this includes Realistic/Simulator) is extremely similar to WoT but jank

[skDoger]

I've been preaching the value of keen vision for ages, glad to see someone else mention it. Appreciate the shoutout btw!

[bradleypetrash-jcdd]

No wonder your teammates never help they cant hear or see the enemy's!

[LastGoatKnight]

I hate to die to Tiger II and Soviet MBT that has no engine noise, yet they go around. Thanks for not calling it "skill issue" and actually investigating it and proving that it's not just me

[Retronyx]

"E-Sport Ready" btw
This game is not ready at all

[leonidas]

its even weirder that the spotting mechanics are like WoT instead of just all tanks being "spotted" you just have to actually see them

[linussyren]

Gajijn desiding to despawning tanks when out of sight to combat wallhacks was the singel dumbest and most problematic decision they have done...

[Dont-rk]

SO IM NOT GOING MENTALLY INSANE! THANK YOU!

Spookston comes to mind with the "no engine noise" thing. He has that almost every video where somewhere, somehow, some enemy tank just has no audio and its literally around the corner.

[JC_WT]

That explains a lot, lol
This whole thing of tanks de-rendering has always bugged me. And now it seems to also be the culprit of making them silent too🤦‍♂

[Atariusz_]

My theory is that realictic in based entirely on arcade. You know these nicknames above players head? They mean that they are actually detected and for example you can scout them. This mechanic actually works in realistic but is hidden away. Same detection rules apply to realistic. Going back to scouting: YOU NEED to detect an enemy first before scouting by looking at them for couple of seconds, your teammate doing that or them being close enough or performing an action that reveals them. The same stuff that makes red nicknames show up.

[Andy-xnzn]

Keen vision should just be removed entirely.

[GraveDigger]

What the fuck, Gaijin.... The reason I switched over to Warthunder from WoT to begin with is supposedly the absence of silly spotting mechanics of WoT!!

Now it's apparently in Warthunder too??!!

[patricklandfarth]

Thats explains how a Is6 can sneakup on me and i dont hear it even with maxed out crew, but still my Wiesel makes more noise than a jet, very realistic considered that Wiesel is very silent compared to heavy tanks but ingame you can hear it starting from the draw distance.

[Idreamaboutcheese]

I remember seeing some of Spookston's recent vids and this has happened to him a few times. Mainly the enemy having the engine on close by, but no noise being produced.

[DarlinaLTesh]

The whole "Look to the side for 1 second, look back and- BOOM!" happens to me pretty much every 2nd match, it's so freaking annoying xD I was going crazy over this...

[euanisles]

Great, in all of my thousands of hours in this game i have never once upgraded keen vision on a tank crew

[notazombie...notatall]

Ok, this video needs to reach more people, this "feature" is simply not ok, this shouldn't be a thing.

[gabrielabreu]

That explains a whole lot and im even more pissed.
