That said I'm sure the sounds in BOB SOW will be better than IL-2.

He said it at about the same time as the Pe-2 addon came out, in regards to the so-called dynamic sound scheme that Il-2 employed with it's default sounds. He said that it proved to be an error in view of the diverse types of setup each user had, and he would use a different approach next time. He did not give any clues as to how the new approach would work. His tone was slightly reproachful of the community, and he intimated that he'd be forced to change it more because people were so inclined to complain about the Il-2 method of sound, rather than that it didn't work per-se. You were away for some time I believe, and might have missed much of the debates over sound back then. But you may recall how Oleg is inclined to dig his heels in from time to time when responding to critisism.
I'm sorry that I can't provide a link to the post, as ORR no longer exists. I've always remembered this comment of his over the years though, particularly later when the sound mod came out.
