Most of the external engine sounds are the exact same sounds from IL2. That being said, i find that some of the in-cockpit sounds are well done, mostly on the axis aircraft. The G.50 also has a nice sound pack.
The biggest advantage of those CoD stock sounds that are well made is that they are fully dynamic. Jump in a 110, set throttle to idle, start a shallow glide, play around with the prop pitch and listen to how the sound changes, the engines are talking to you. Very important for those who fly with full CEM, because this way you can fly the manual pitch luftwaffe planes and keep the engine healthy without looking at the RPM gauges all the time, you just get used to how it sounds in different RPM bands and tune it by ear from that point on.
I have a feeling a lot of the current sounds are place-holders and they will be replaced at some point by a patch. Otherwise, why would some aircraft have better in-cockpit sound while others use the same IL2 sounds and why would almost all of them use the old IL2 sounds as well for external views?
