Another my own experinece in yak-52 flying near the Yak-18T... I was able to hear and to define the directions of outside flying plane flying some 30 menters near my plane... And I was in a helment that is very similar to WWII time...
Also, please tell me, can the bullet hit to the wing of the aircratf hear the pilot? If you will say me can, then I will put here the real measurement of the sound from the hit of bullet to the wing and the sound of fighter propeller (not the engine even!) on a distance of the 50 meters in decibels for comparison. Then you will tell me who is right  |
Agree, You can definitely hear other planes when flying near them. I have also
flown the YAK-52 in formation with another 52 and you sure hear the engine (and that is the "most" WWII plane I've flown - and the engine in the YAK is really far from an over reving DB601
) ... Which goes for a bunch of other aircraft I've been formation flying with IRL.
Anyone that has heard a Warbird close can try to shield the sound with some plexiglass
Sure - the own engine is loud - but as it is in one resonance band the other engine never will be in the same "sound spectra" and you will hear it if near even with a thick helmet and headset. I just read "First Light" by Geoffrey Wellum where he mentions hearing the engines of the first He 111 he attacked (and nearly crashed into while being to eager to keep firing as long as he could). We know that from IL2 online, don't we?
. Sorry! Noob! wft? Etc..
