Playing infantry only and firing my weapon on semi auto I listened to the report. Sounds are good but firing weapons with supersonic ammunition will always have noticeable thunder crack that follows the bullet and echos off the distant objects. Sort of the way the sniper rifles sound. All weapons that fire supersonic should have the cracking (not loud whish sound) but the sound of the lightning as it travels through the sky before the hit of thunder when it strikes an object on the ground. 9mm, 223, 308, Howitzer shells, 20mm ,105mm etc. they all have supersonic crack with supersonic ammo. However, the subsonic ammo sounds right with suppressors. The supersonic ammo with suppressors is good as well but missing the supersonic crack. This may seem trivial to most people who never fired real weapons. However, to me it is the difference between fake and immersive realism. I play games for a diversion. The games that have the best weapons and sounds scratch the itch to shoot real guns and I don't need money for ammo, a range. I don't disturb neighbors, and I don't need to clean and maintain my dirty guns.
This game with Portal is so close to the perfect game for me. Casual and fun.
All supersonic ammo no matter the size will have a lightning crack as it flies through the air.
Maybe consider this in your next game..
thank you
