This 1GB Sound Mod is CRAZY! | World of Tanks 

Hey, current updater of Gnomefather's here. Just wanted to say a big thanks for featuring sound mods on your channel again! The stock game sounds have definitely come a long way over the years, and I know that sound mods aren't for everyone, but at least for me, they've helped to get a lot more enjoyment out of the game -- both as a long-time user AND more recently in researching new guns/engines to add the mod (and yes, Gnomefather's is still being updated with new sounds, NOT just long-term maintenance!). If you've been wanting to change up your experience with WoT's atmosphere, I'd say give them a shot -- the right sound mod for you can make a tremendous difference! By the way, question for Dez: I'm not sure if they're included in Aslain's pack, but another big aspect which both Gnomefather's and War Mod changes is engine sounds. Can't speak for War Mod (though, I know JohnTankPL has put in a lot of work on engines over there), but as far as Gnomefather's goes, this is a big part of what contributes to the filesize -- since taking on Gnomefather's mod from Zorgane, I've added over 100+ new engine sounds to the mod (and I do know that many of John's updates to War Mod have historically include many engines as well). Likewise, I know many who've chosen to use these mods for the changes to engine sounds alone -- and perhaps I may be a bit biased here (as a long-time user of Gnomefather's), but at least to me, they contribute just as much (if not more) to the change in atmosphere/feel of the game as the gun sounds. May I ask, is there any chance for engine sound mods to be covered in a similar manner at some point? (I could put together a list of some vehicles with notable modded engine sounds if it'd be of help + could contact John for a similar list from War Mod, etc.) Regardless, thank you again for shining some light our way -- me/Zorgane (authors of the Gnomefather's revival), John (author of War Mod), PYmods (creator of the core mods which make sound mods feasible to maintain), and many others put a lot of work into these mods (as do you with your videos), so it is nice to see them get some time in the spotlight. Salut!

war mod sounds like a 400mm railway gun in most cases lmao

War Mod sounds really cool in isolation. But in battle, its just too overwhelming. The reverb really kills it.

Gnomefarhers for me. More bass and pretty realistic. War once do OK but thinner and more cracking than expected.

Hearing the 240mm fire with the war mod put a smile on my face almost instantly

The depth is great and the incoming arty shell is amazing, but they need to tone down and shorten the echo and reverb.

This mod should be mandatory for arty players, every time they shoot, they get earraped

Many years ago I took a big break from wot and I remember that my friend told me about Gnomefathers mod, where the gun sound were way cooler. Acually that got me back into playing the game again, this just goes to show how important the music and sounds in a game.

Wow, gnomefather's actually sounds good, the other sounds like what I used to make while playing with my toy soldiers

Honestly everything over 90 mm sounds like it was recorded in a train tunnel with the mic gain set 60db higher than it should be 😂 Definitely would prefer NOT having my ears blown out above tier 4

We can see so much effort went into this Dez. Amazing! The editing was great. Well done mate!

Great show on stream, and what a work you did here

I would really like to have the standard game sounds with "shell/casing dropping out of the barrel after shooting" sounds combined

Great examples showing us the difference... WarMod's Concurrent Fire 12:05 is gonna blow somebody's speakers LOL Thank for this vid DEZ

Anyone else dying laughing at the 240mm war mod... its just gained through the roof.

My issue with most of the sound mods is that the echo/reverb was just too much (it’s just incredibly loud and the bigger guns sound like they have too much distortion) the engine sounds were amazing though.

Honestly there is still no gun sound more ASMR than wg's 130/128mm caliber gun sounds

It was this type of video that I subbed to you for, thank you for returning to your roots! xx

Thank you for the Effort Dez

I'd love to see you showcase some more mods!! I don't see many WOT youtubers show them off so I think it would be a great opportunity for those who do use them

I bet with this sound mod it feels even better to not pen EBR with your 183mm because the wheel took the shell and no dmg 😅

Wow Dez, thanks so much that was great!! However I really like hearing the shell casing "pinging" as it ejected. Gonna stay with Gnomes!!

I like that kind of videos, thx Dez.

Honestly, outside of some of the smaller guns, the original sounds are the best, purely because it's the cleanest. The other 2 have a weird crackle for the bugger guns

Gnomefathers sounds like cannons from modern tanks but the war mod is chaotic when everything is firing. I am not sure which one I prefer.

Amazing. I will definetly try it. Thanks for the content.

The war mod would be way to destracting for me in battle. I think it would give me shell shock.

Thank you for this, it helped me make up my mind to download

3:09 i like how they just used the gun sound from war thunder 😂

Loved the Foch 155mm gun from WarMod... best sound design. Next to 152mm. But nothing for everyday-use. I am glad, the regular WoT-Client comes with rather non-distracting flat sounds.

Hey Dez, firstly, thank you for making such videos for WoT - this adds a new flavor to what we usually get for WoT videos. Also, kudos to you and your community because the sheer amount of time to make this showcases your dedication as a CC. Finally, although the Sound Mods add something new to the WoT experience, I still prefer the in-game sounds especially when it comes to high caliber guns. in-game sounds has a certain oompth to it. That "BOOM" effect - I found it to be lacking on the sound mods.

Jpz with the warmod has my heart

this was a good and useful comparison. i wish i could find a mod i like, but there have been aspects that have driven me off - the loudness (esp in warmod), weird sounds of auto-reloader clips and weird grunting of the arty loader that at least used to be present in somekind of a mod

Gnomefathers is by far and away the best.

The sound of the engine on the Tiger 1 from gnomefathers engines mod years ago... Glorious

That was freakin awesome!!!!!

I enjoyed both Gnomefathers, and War mod, i will say that Gnome had a nice touch with the casing ejection sounds after firing on the Borsig and the T92

imo gnomefathers sounds the best btw - it really good shows what camo after shot is :)

What a beautifull sound mod...my favourite is Borsig... That 150mm howitzer sound in opened platform is just epic...

Possibly controversial, but I personally like to use the 0.9.13 gun sounds. They are nostalgic, but they also just sound really good to me. Especially the 105mm-130mm guns. The distant echoes are wonderful too. Brings me back to 2014-2015

11:00 the 240 mm WAR MOD sounds like a Nuclear meme 😂

As for myself I have been using Wars on my EU account because constantly being on a firing range and deployed a lot. Coming from 1st Armored Infantry the sounds are more realistic.

Nice ! T-92 is my favorite sound.

I use the war mod and turn my effects volume down to between 40-60 and everything else down to around 80 except for ambiance and engine sounds which I might increase by 5 or 10. it doesn't overwhelm the ears; you can use the extra information to know who fired, and what gun, and shell they are using to your advantage once you get used to it.

I tried the warmod sounds but they sounded like they were clipping pretty hard. Went to gnomefathers for awhile. Liked them but that glitched my game, couldn't see shells firing, fire and destruction animations randomly, so went back to stock. Fav gun sound was gnomefathers t110e5.

I think the warsounds are super cool, but too loud. Needs a bit of realancing and implemented

cool sound Pack!! Love it

GREAT JOB!

There were a few factors that lead to the in game gun sounds and I have to say that I agree, as wg has experimented with more realistic sounds over the years and when it comes down to it, they don't want guns to sound similar so you can tell who is firing where. This also means over distance it has to be consistent. Testing realistic sound mods with WOT devs versions and the modpacks, they just become annoying and even distracting. They have that cool novelty factor but that wears thin after a while. One of those factors is that louder does not equal better. Which is defo a problem with the higher caliber guns. I do like the trace sounds if they are accurate but sounded a bit like what you might hear in movies. I do like this though and like how you featured them. @FasterClassic has done some great work with that Zorgane have done great and I know a lot of people enjoy it. I don't use the gun sounds but I do find the engines to be so clutch I always use them. They need to have the big engine deisely valve noise high torque and turbo boosted sounds

Gnomefather's was a little more consistently better, I think. Though, it also loses some variation at the upper ends of the scale. The echo/hitting effect from War mod was pretty neat, but perhaps a little overdone on a few of them.

I will get this mod soo cool thx for sharing it with us

Oh my goodness that war mod is hawt. I need this in my life. I cannot explain the absolute satisfaction I experienced watching this video. Awesome.

I think most of the sounds in War Mod are poorly done, have a lot of resonance and feedback and static echoes that need a lot of work.

I use Aslain and I think the Gnomefathers sounds at the moment... I like that it gives just a little more realistic feeling. Its always fun to play with some mods like that. Try the rest if you didnt allready. :)

def. using those mods! Time to change the shooting sounds!

Very interesting content, thx.

0:55 And did you see here another 1GB mod for engine sounds? :P

I prefer the stock sounds. Others seems to have too much echo / reverb for me.

so much noise with the war mod :D

Honestly, guns in wot sounds all kinda same, dull.

Ngl, Wg did it better... I'm yet to find a sound mod i like more than the standard Game sounds

Very nice! The War Mod really benefits the lower calibers, however I think I prefer the game sounds for the 150 mm plus.

Dez you gotta hear 120mm gun on auto loaders and e5 or sc, that's y i am using gnomefather since 2014 (Soviet meds with 100mm gun is also one of my favorites)

Tbh the normal sounds are the best (especially for the double barrel)

Did someone forget to compress the sound files or something?

Finely Dez! I was waiting for this kind video. As you sad, not new, 10 years old. Really good! I was missing some guns, like 75,85, 105, 110mm. But no worries. For me was the secong sound the best, the third had too much other sounds and backsounds.

I remember the sound of a moded KV4,with it's high pitched sound on that long barrel,think it was from gnomefather mods.

way too much echo

def Gnomefather it just sounds good and doesn't do too much the War Mod however... it sounds as if you were right next to said gun

I have got the OG sounds mod, good old music, victory/defeat sound and every gun shot sounds the same :D

great thanks !

Tehere was some gunsounds like 6 years ago aswell. Not a surprise. Just have to read thru the list once 😁

I like the original the most, both mods do have some interesting small details which the original does not have. Good video!

Another great video Dez Maybe give a chance to the engine mods as well, Gnome father's one is brilliant, it's always the first thing I install

In the end, everyone ended up fighting.

Gnomefather is the best warmod for some tanks and some are game sound is perfect

you can change even more if you download and install this mod separately it has 2gb and it sounds awesome with 7.1 surround headphones

Brillant mod. Got it in oldskool modpack. Perso il love it. Echo is absolutely cool.

War mode sounds more like a spatial sound , like you can hear round going far and hitting the target with sound effects

That's really hilarious when I saw that smol 7.92 caliber keep shooting at the hopeless and slow paper 240mm 🤣🤣

Both alternates sound better than standard, with War Mod coming out on top for quite a few IMO, however, the whistle effects, and sometimes over modulation of reverb need a little tweaking for War Mod.

War mod echo for the Rheinmetall 150mm sounds like the airstrike from half life 1

i like the good ola gnomefather the best. i think the sound is way more correckt. and i think that whit all the effeckt frome the war mod would be tiering over time

Im going to have a problem playing later, these sound so much better

I think Gnomefather/Fastestclassic’s gun sounds are still the best

10:04 that sound with the mod is perfect for the name that sometimes they give it "Dead Star"

nice one @DezGamez! I watched it on TV and turned on volume a bit - don't ask neighbors if they liked it too LoL. Need to watch it again on PC with headphones. What i missed a bit - and maybe the mod will support it - is a more detailed comparisson for different guns in a tier or on certain vehicles. As example, how does sound change when you use an tier5 VK30.01H (having lots and lots of different guns available) with long 5cm/L60, 7.5cm/L24, 7.5cm/L48, 7.5cm/L70 and 7.5/5.5cm conical gun .. and compare it maybe to 8.8cm/L56 on VK36.01H. One gun i missed especially: 152mm on KV-2!

I love the 240 sounds, but man War Mod got the echo across the map down. I always felt like it should be heard from the entire map to some extent even if it wasnt spotted just because of how powerful the 240 is

I did like the shell eject for the open turrets with the gnomefather mod.

installed it, its friggin amazing...

All of the War ones sound like they're blowing out your speakers. I think the default sounds the best, but not because it's good lol, they could definitely update the audio.

90mm on war mod just gives eargasms. for anything else gnomefathers for sure

I like certain ones from all three. I would have to mix and match lol

Vanilla: Handheld gun. Gnomefather's: C4 Bomb WarMod: Nuclear Bomb

THE GUNS HAVE EARRAPE IN THEM

YES WE NEED THESE SOUND MODS IN GAME RIGHT NOW😤😤 for me it's between the pz1c, Is7, T92 The NUKE was probably the best one ngl

These echoes sound really cool but hearing how long they last, close range battles with a lot of tanks firing all the time it's going to be like a continuous volcano eruption

I like the Gnomefather's the best

0:04 really new shooting sounds. in truth the two sounds (Gnomefather's and war mod) are excellent and replace the basic sound of the game.

So good on War mod❤😮
