client update Update 2.13.0.165

[Stona_WT 72,761]

Sound

• The engine sounds for enemy aerial and ground vehicles now have a higher priority than allied vehicles.
• The track sounds on enemy ground vehicles now have a higher priority than allied vehicles.
• The engines for enemy and allied vehicles sound quieter as the engine speed decreases. An idling vehicle will again sound significantly quieter than a vehicle in motion.
• The volume of hits from low calibre rounds (20-37mm) around the listener has been significantly decreased. Such sounds might previously have been identified as machine gun fire or just crackling.

Related to sounds but unrelated to this update: crashing explosion on aircraft is very loud, please lower it in code so we don't have to drop our speaker volume during matches.

Does this mean that I can finally take out the Po-2 and go silent mode when I hit that throttle to zero?

Why does the M1 remain louder?

Possibly related, engine noises while on Airfield are so loud now that they clip out.

Now T-90A have 2 times louder sound of starting and turning off engine than when driving with full rpm and speed. Please change it.

Glad to see this gone. As I expected, it was a pointless change that solved nothing...

this update is causing lots of frame dips while switching between  3rd person view and Gunner view in tanks,also lags are occurring while turning planes and looking around.Usually i get about 60 to 70 fps in ulq graphics settings but after this update now im getting about 50 to 60 fps on ulq and very frequent lag spikes.

1 Giga Byte update to just change volumes? 

are you sure nothing else happened?

[NZfartyLlama@live 0]

Having issues with hits, seems like sometimes hits are not registering, even at point blank and has the HE effect in shells been drastically reduced?

[Sir Rebral Palsy 2,423]

Could you please fix the USH-405's HEAT rocket fire audio bug? It makes no sound whatsoever whenever you get hit by it.

Yeah yeah yeah, that's cool and all but can type in chat now?

After the update was applied, I still had an ASU-57 drive right up to me without being heard. No idea who is doing the coding, but every patch makes it worst.
