There aren’t so many objects in the sky where sound can bounce off things and come back to you, so what kind of interaction could we be talking about? Let us explain.

Did you know that you aren’t just a participant in the conflict, you’re an observer as well? The mechanics of distributing sound will work both for allies and enemies, and you’ll hear people firing behind you and in front of you, up close or at long range, in a completely different way. If you prefer Simulator Battles, you’ll definitely notice the difference between a closed canopy and an open one. Even the vibration from firing can be felt through your vehicle’s frame. We’ve separately worked on the fluidity of shifts between the sounds when the cabin’s canopy is opened or closed. A whole range of factors is taken into account! The only thing missing for perfect realism is an airfield janitor who hears the shell casings as they fall onto the ground after you fire. And although we don’t have that guy, you still can hear the shell casings.

Turrets are a separate chapter in our work with audio. The game has open and enclosed turrets, single turrets, twin turrets, quadruple machine gun mounts, and cannons of various calibres. We’ve tried to make the audio for these turrets as realistic and distinctive as possible. The clank of the bolt, the creak as the turret turns, the thunder of the breech as it releases casings – these details create an atmosphere of battle from the gunner’s view.
