Lack of impact sounds?

[Gollum]

I can't here anything when I am either getting shot or slammed into.

I spent the first few dogfights thinking I was dodging bullets in the matrix (damn this break between IL2 and COD has really honed my skills!!) until I started reading what was actually happening in the top left of my screen.

I used to fall off my chair when getting hit in IL2. I understand the engine and all is running so it might not be as loud but you'd figure you'd hear a round slamming through your fuesalage or at least through you cockpit window??

By they way, does anyone know what a "burnt intake" is? Is that refering to an intake valve? and why would it happen by itself without CE on or witout getting hit?
