Differentiate weapon sound between factions and correct weapon sound among its variants

Examples

  • JP Type 99 rifle (long, early, late) and Type 99 sniper (long) shared the sound with JP Type 38 Arisaka rifle despite Type 99 sniper already has its own unique sound (and please fix their janky reload animation)
  • GER Conders shared the sound with MP40 but MP40’s e_loop is slow, causing Conders’ e_loop to generate incorrect fire rates. Same goes to others like Beretta M38’s variants
  • GER Kar98k Kriegmodell somehow has the different sound from Kar98k despite having the same mechanism
  • GER Breda (PG)'s e_sound somehow using SOV Madsen sound
  • GER MAS-36, JP Murata rifle shared the sound with SOV Mosin rifles
  • SOV Mosin M1907 carbine has its own sound but Mosin M1938 and M44 carbines shared the sound with Mosin rifles
  • USA Liu rifle shared the sound with GER Gewehr 41
  • JP Type 4 rifle shared the sound with USA M1 Garand
  • JP Type 99 / Type 100 MG, USA Bren shared the sound with GER ZB-26
  • JP SIG KE7 shared the sound with USA BAR M1918

This could cause confusion when factions fighting each other on the battlefield (same weapon sound but not from the same faction) and misleading fire power of the weapons (incorrect fire rates from sharing the same e_loop sound)

Suggestion

  • Reorganize the weapon sound among its variants to have the same sound (Type 99 rifles / snipers, Mosin carbine variants)

  • Avoid using the same weapon sound between factions to prevent confusion except the weapons are lend lease or sharing the same system / mechanic / bullet’s caliber.

  • Create new sound for new weapons added

  • Each faction should have their own similar theme of sound based on weapon mechanism / bullet’s caliber. Many weapons from tech tree, event / premium squads that their weapon sound never being shared with other weapons (e.g. Berthier M16, Manlicher M1895, Manlicher M93, Gerat 03, Charlton, UD M42, PPT-27, Hino rifle), which can be a good supplement to share the sound inside their own faction without having to share with others

  • Eliminate the usage of e_loop sound so weapon can produce sound with its correct fire rates. T20 rifle shared the sound with M1 Garand, or AVS-36 / AVT-40 can produce auto-firing sound just fine without e_loop sound files
