Why are tanks so quiet?

They’re made of paper and they make literally no sound until they’re within 8 ft??>

Agreed.

100% agree. They should be insanely loud. So loud indeed that it is difficult to hear anything else if you’re within a 10 meter radius. That would help the immersion immensely.

They are sneaky snakes

I’m not a vehicle player, and while I don’t generally mind them, the thing that really grinds my gears is the fact that they are mostly completely silent. It was the same in BF1, so I don’t expect DICE to fix this, I guess this is part of their “balancing”. I would only hope they’d find a less frustrating way of doing this, get OHKd out of nowhere is frustrating. Oh, I know it’s a team effort and would be a non-issue if people spotted them, but it’s just not happening. Same as with all other teamwork related mechanics.

It is mostly the enemy tanks. Your own can be heard just fine and are too loud. Yesterday I clearly heard tracks and thought it was allied, but I could not see anything on the minimap. Three seconds later our half-track appeared on there. That must have been 100m. I wish I could hear any enemy tank this far. They just plop up out of nowhere.

Yeah in the tank is so loud and outside its sound like small car :smiley:

Sometimes I dont hear footsteps from enemies, I recall last night I heard footsteps early and when I looked over there was an enemy soldier there, and a tank rolling next to him…lol

The next person who uses the term immersion gets a highfive… in the face… with a table…!

They a hybrids. Get about 1mpg instead of .6mpg

AGREE!!!

When being overflown by a bomber it is hard to miss, tanks are like ninjas.
