Removal of Tank Siren

[Pascucci the Whiner]

I'm loving the patch, but I've found one thing that is both annoying and highly unrealistic. When a tank gets to critical status a very loud and annoying alarm goes off. In all my research I've never found any evidence pointing to tanks ever having alarm sirens and having to drive the thing back to base listening to that thing was very irritating. I love the other damage effects , but surely there must be another more realistic and annoying way of warning the player that his or her tank is in critical condition? How about more smoke or making the view of the player look like he his bleeding. If an alarm is required how about making it the sound of a tank crewman yelling to bail out or that the tank has been hit?

I have fought against this siren relentlessly.  There was never such a thing in tanks, and it sounds absolutely idotic.  All you need now is some guy on a loudspeaker going "Abandon tank, abandon tank, all hands to the lebenwagons, women and children first!"

This is incredibly annoying and distracting. If it's not possible to have "fire" shader instead, or crew shouting in panic, leave a warning completely away rather than force something that did not exist and is just stupid.

Personally, I supported maybe having a crew shout that plays for a short time like "GET OUT!!  MOVE IT!" in the respective national languages, or just more fire stats, or even a red blurred vision like the bleeding out vision for infantry.  But this....god not this....  You have no idea how hard it was to keep this bottled up inside till the patch released.

Needs to go.

Far away.

THIS. I would love some more voices that add to the atmosphere, not "beep beep missile lock"... A "loaded!" sound would also be nice... But not necessary.

This thread needs a poll"

Siren stays - Its functional
Siren goes - Dont need any more warnings
Siren changed to some other warning

[Flippy Warbear]

Oh? A thread about this matter so soon? How unexpected!

And yes, goes without saying that I agree. The alarm has no place in this mod.

I agree :|

How did it make it into the final release anyway??? The testers played without headphones or speakers?

[kingtiger1891]

Just replace the sound file yourself, it wont affect online playing.

[LuckyOne]

Needed for what? Easier bailing? We played 5 years without sirens and it was fine. It's not needed, trust me. Or at least make something that makes sense... not a siren...

[Kelmola]

If you can really replace the sound file without PB kicking you, I'm so gonna change it to a sound bite from Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning.

SUURI PIMEYS TULEE JA ME KAIKKI KUOLEMME!

Removed some crap that would likely steer the thread into flaming and away from getting the siren removed.
