It sounds fine to me.
If you want to hear what a real tank cannon sounds like look in the main SPMBT forum for the thread "Sound File Mis-Match " and listen to the attachment in the last post of a Challenger 2 firing it's main 120mm gun. It won't be what you expect. Imagine the complaints if we used the real sound
( the fast way is to enter - Challenger - in the main forum search and it will bring you right to it )

I just thought it sounded rather thin thats all,as compared to other cannons.
If you say its the correct sound ,thats good enough for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

To capture the "real" sound of such a big gun is technically rather difficult.

That "Challenger Sound" is most likely the (poor) result of capturing with a microphone specially tailored for speech, which filters out low sounds (rumbling from wind etc). Most likely there's high-pass filtering at work as well (to get rid of feedbacks, hissing etc.)
And the inevitable limiter (preventing overmodulation) will have low-pass filter effect,too.

Therefore we hear the gun like we would through a telephone ...

Good sounds should be recorded from 50..100m away (you are not (virtually) standing right next to your units in SP), using full-range (recording studio quality) condser micros and DAT equipment.

Any volunteers, to get that together and make some recording sessions at shooting ranges? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
