About the pull request
Explain why it's good for the game
The autocannon feels very lackluster rigth now and lacks any kind of feedback for what it can actually do. Its a big problem of feel then balance.
The fact that it causes AOE damage is not communicated in any way for the enemy besides red damaged flashes, that could also come from any other damage source. The new sound should give people more feedback in the damage they have taken.
From feedback on discord its gonna stay sound only for now. If the feedback is not enough, migth need to ad a visual indicator in the future as well.
The mingun for the tank has three sound files speccificly for it that wherent used. Instead it used the gatling gun sound file the code was likly based on.
I didnt manage to figure out how to properly implement rev up sound and rev down, so it only replaces the loop sound.
If anyone knows how to implement the start end sounds ping me, i got plans with that for more cool things for this.
The sounds will also make the minigun feel more beefy, as the main weapon of a tank should feel. Should make it a much more fun experince to fire the gun.
