I've got a number of sets of war horns, but I find that often when I score a kill, they fail to go off.

I notice that's not the case when I get killed, I always hear some horns

but it's disheartening, especially since they have a significant cost and I've bought many sets and they feel quite broken, and need a big fix.

I've looked through settings and can't find anything, and they do seem to be sporadic - sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. But on the other hand if I am I'll be happy to learn.

PS if this has been mentioned before then apologies, but I couldn't see anything in search.

happens to me sometimes, there doesn't seem to be a pattern, the most common case is if a whole bunch of us are dogpiling some poor loner, I'll get the kill but not the horn (giggity) maybe if more than one player has a horn and they all hit right about the same time it confuses the game? cause it almost never fails if I get a solo kill

That might make a lot of sense to me too.

I think you've described my situation. Sounds like it might be a server side issue perhaps? The game can't process the horn sound over everything else?

Wouldn't be the first game to have that problem.

I've been playing a lot of World of Warships lately and if you use a radio message, there's a 50/50 chance some other sound might prevent it from triggering the audio.

Horns rarely work for me. Never really bothered me since I never bought any, just throw on whatever I win/get with bundles.

Oh, has anyone seen the Gatling horn? i don't see it in the shops.

it was a special exclusive for the 500$ gold mech buyers.

So unless you want to drop 500 for a spinny warhorn, you'll never get it. But yes, I've seen it, and Yes, it's pretty awesome.

Mine fail to go off if I overheat when I get the kill or if 3 or 4 other guys are focusing down one 'mech with me. I'm guessing a server load issue.
