Sound

• The whistle from nearby cannon shells currently has low playback probability. We continue to improve this effect and in future updates the sound of a passing shell will work more accurately and realistically.
• The sound of low calibre bullets passing at close range is now quieter.
• The whistle before the explosion of an artillery shell strike now has a probability of playback but it will not be played every time.
• Taking into account player feedback the following changes have been made
  • The volume of enemy/allied aircraft engines has been lowered.
  • The volume of the enemy/allied ground vehicles as well as the sound from the player’s ground vehicle have been increased.
  • The volume of ATGM and rocket volleys has been lowered.
• The sound of the Ju 87 Stuka siren at long and short range has been changed.
• A bug has been fixed where active air defense (flares) sounded like ATGM’s when firing.
• The sound of allied/enemy machine guns dependent on distance from them has been adjusted. Now the distance is more noticeable with the ear. 
• The sound of explosions dependent on distance from them (in increasing) has been adjusted. Now the distance is more noticeable with the ear.
