The sounds in the mods for IL2 are much better than the stock game and that includes the external sounds. And I just did a frame rate test using the Black Death track, one for stock 4.101 and one for UP2.01 and the both the average and max frames were actually better for UP2.01! I had vertical sync forced off. The min frames was a little better for stock game at 57, UP was 55.

So great sounds don't necessarily mean a significant performance hit.

Indeed. The stock sound samples are simply replaced by new ones. No added processing power required (provided things like sampling rate are the same between the sounds).

OK they are using their samples for engine sounds (external) which they think are ok..But the question is why are they almost identical to stock IL2 external sounds. All the planes sounds similar in flight. In il2 with soundmod we can clearly distinguish merlins from DBs etc...such sounds are clearly more convincing and more like the real thing....and cool....I know that external sounds were the least important in develompent of COD but it was the weakest spot of original IL2...sounds are important
What is odd to me, they made completely new in-cockpit engine sounds which are very very good and left external sounds almost unchanged compared to original IL2 (at least they sound almost identical).
This is not complaining...just, I was hoping they would make more effort on sounds not only in cockpit but also outside cockpit...flybys and headons have another dimension in IL2 with sound mods ON....ofcourse there are bad examples of external sounds in sound-mods in IL2, like the sound of Hellcat engine which sounds like quiet filtered washing-machine...
