By and large they are no better than Oleg's original synthesized sounds, just different from them.
That is unless you feel a Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasp or Wright Cyclone sounds like a Cessna 150, and really poorly looped tracks are you thing.

A Pratt and Whitney R-2800 sounds different depending on the aircraft it is installed on.
For example, in the case of the P-47, the exhaust is routed through a complicated series of exhaust tubes to that huge turbocharger in the belly, and that acts to smooth out the pulses of the exhaust and muffle them. The P-47 was a very quiet plane compared to most WWII fighters. Maybe quieter than a Cessna...
(don't base you opinion by the way, on the sounds you here from vintage Warbird '47's. Many of them are running non-original Pratt and Whitney's from transport aircraft, and don't even have the turbocharger hooked up)
On the other hand, the Corsair had a three stage supercharger, and the exhaust came right out the stacks. It is a noisy bugger. I know, I've heard one start up and run more than a few times.
Neither the so-called sound mod, or the original IL-2 sounds take that into consideration.
