Indeed so. Sound is incredibly important for a sim, not only for immersion but also as information giver.
Oleg had the standard answer for IL2, "IL2's sound engine is top of the art, best in business, but you need a stand alone soundcard". This does not fly with me these days, when integrated soundcards SHOULD suffice quite well.
I really hope they give the sound another glance... as it is now, sitting on the runway with hood open, and can't even hear my engine (or any others for that matter) starting up.. (try the Blenheim) is a big immersion killer.
