that sound seems local only - no idea if intentional or by design. should be easy to fix

The sound is intentionally only simulated on the local player.
I'd prefer this miniscule issue, over the performance implications of simulating all weapon attachment sounds for all units.
Likely never fix.

Ok authors can easy add this thing by scripting WeaponDeployed EH

Q: some unit's sounds (breaths, screams ets. from this ticket T178500) is seems local to player for the same reason?

Very likely that its the same reason yeah. I didn't check the code

I can agree with 8-10 players in a section moaning together on wounded, this is performance and sound garbage ok
But the sound from the bipod of which there are 1-2pcs. per section IMO will only improve poor sound accompaniment from player to players. I suggest that the bipod sounds should not be local and make this the default in the vanilla Arma 3

I would also like to note that all other weapon sounds can be heard by other players: switching range on iron sight, switching fire selector. It seems that only the sounds of the bipod cannot be heard
