Making allied engines quieter
Im looking for a way to make them quieter. I rely heavily on my ears for locating enemys in every game. But when playing with Americans, or any other Tank close to me, im going deaf. i have to turn of all my sounds at the start of the game because of that. City maps are a nightmare too. And then there are Jets. If enemy Jets making a ♥♥♥♥ ton of noise, thats fine. Distract the enemy, help ur allies. But man, when ur Team have 1-4 Jets up, thats not helping at all. Atleast, for me. I hate getting killed because i cant hear the enemy.

So, now im looking for a way to make them quieter. Is there any way, or is there a soundmod?

and who feels the same way as i do?

I'm sure there's a mod out there that does it, but personally I'm fine. It is a competitive advantage, and most of the time I'm aware enough of my surroundings and my map to know who's a noisy ally and what's a sneaky light tank. I'd realistically say there's no way Gajin would add the ability to lower ally tank volumes, they just barely let us lower our own engine

Yep, but it's not easy for everyone

ehhh tanks are freaking loud! Yours is loudest being so close... Its kindda nice that we can hear other tanks thanks GJ... I think you can turn off your engine to get better hearing but it was being abused so now there is a delay before you can restart it. I actually came to rant about those jets! Thats all i hear! and can never see them.... GJ needs to make jet smoke trails darker and last a little longer to get closer to real life IMO. JP-4 left a hell of a trail.

i do, but when a Abrams is right next to u and are planes up, u hear nothing else than this, no enemys, no warning signals. i have to turn the volumes complete down to not to go deaf.
I wish my teams would look more on maps and such things... or working with sound. got killed so many times beacuse my teammate didnt noticed an enemy right next to them.
I trolled so many enemys because they blast ther ears with music off.

This game is loud, i know this, and thats okay. but when u have to turn the volume down if an american tank is near by (friendly or not) or to many jets, there is something wrong.
And again, there are people like me, they rely on hearing, sound, ears

what's your volume settings? mine is mostly default with 'My engine' at 50-60% while the 'enemy sounds' is at 56~%
