This mod will not effect any OOB files, and can be installed mid-game with no PBEM or security problems at all.

It's an 18MB rar file, that includes an excel sound guide for SPWW2. The sound guide identifies most of the sounds, and shows which ones have been replaced in this mod.

Please be aware that SPWW2 has some sound limitations and issues:

Many weapons often draw on a single sound. For example the sound for the Vickers HMG is also used by some Bren or even German units.

Some weapons draw on multiple sounds. For example rifles from the same unit may sound like bolt action one volley and them semi-autos the next.

All wheeled vehicles (except motorcycles) share a single sound; and even ships use the wheeled vehicle sound (not joking).
I decided to replace the current wheeled vehicle with a decent road vehicle sound, as use of ships is more limited.

All aircraft (except gliders, spotter planes and helicopters) draw on the same sound. Bombers use it again and again making the sound run over itself.

Although it's relatively easy to replace sounds with better sounds, it won't resolve the above issues.

Cross Sounds 0.6 replaces 60% or 89 of the original 152 sounds.
I tried to replace the sounds I more commonly come across.
Fifteen sounds have been replaced by the same sound but with improved quality.

Installation

1. Create a backup of your original 'Sounds' folder.
2. Unzip and copy or move the 89 wav files into the 'Sounds' folder and Replace All.

SPMBT

MBT gives you the option to use wav or MP3. I believe wav is the default.
If you use wav then you can also install this mod to your MBT sounds folder, because MBT used the SPWW2 sound map.

Please post any feedback, issues or suggestions here.
