Nuclear Strike alarm is too quiet/unnoticeable
As some of you may know, Shredder Missile upgrade lvl 3 (which players love refering to as the Nuke) adds an alarm siren effect. However, at the moment the alarm siren is simply too quiet, to the point you will not even hear it with all the gunfire around, meaning that in most of the cases its pointless, with my teammates having no idea that a giant cluster♥♥♥♥ is coming over their heads and im screaming "MOVE" for a reason.

For those of you who dont know, the siren sound is currently like this

Only MUCH quieter. The nuke has 6 seconds deploy time, so even if it was louder, the alarm has barely any time to build up aswell. I propose it to change to something like this

Even if it stays at current volume, the high beeps are instantly noticeable and help count those 6 seconds as its in flight.

Sorry if im ranting about what seems to be a small thing, but i hope everyone agrees that hearing(actually HEARING) nuclear alarm can be epic in fight, meaning that DEMOCRACY in its purest form is on the way with a loud bang! You take away all the fun from dropping a nuke if no one hears and no one cares its coming, like a stealth bomb.

The alarm is loud enough. If players don't move, then they need more awareness!
Red beam, sound, 6s delay... you have plenty of time to run away!
It's like saying pods are not enough noticeable with their flashy beam, because players stay in it!

Thats the whole point. EVERYTHING gives off bright beams. In the middle of the fight players can be too distracted to look at icons of whats being dropped, and as i said the sound alarm is almost impossible to hear mid heated combat, so most just assume its another weak strike and stand right next to it. That means that without organised teamspeak its pretty much impossible to use the nuke, sadly. Which is a shame, as its so damn fun :C

You don't need teamspeak... I regularly use the nuke with random players, and they are moving out. I don't even talk in the ingame voicehat to notice them...
I play in level12 difficulty, so they may be more experienced and handle better this kind of things.
But you clearly doesn't need a "team/dedicated vocal" to use the nuke...
