I voted: No, not hearing external sounds.

However, there is some sense in aboves post. Generally I'd prefer the sounds to be REALISTIC

If that means not hearing or hearing external sounds in specific planes I don't care.

What I find utterly disturbing is opening the canope and hearing literally all sounds around me. Wind needs to be much stronger and probably the engine as well.

The sound engine could be much better and to some degree I fear that some will cheat and exploit this again like in the old IL-2.

You should have had. "Yes, but only where sound(s) could realistically be heard under the ambient conditions."

Cheers!
