No damage sound?

[Blakduk]

I noticed today while flying online that i wasn't hearing any sound of my plane being hit when i was being shot.
I was flying straight and level in a 109 chasing some bombers when i saw a message flick up saying i had a weapon failure. 'Odd' i thought as i saw another message pop up saying i had a small fuel line leak.... then i noticed some tracer and i bunted down into a split-S. Then i finally saw a sneaky Spitfire had sneaked up in my blind spot and scored some hits on me.
What i realised afterwards was that i heard no sounds of any plane strikes. All the other sounds were working okay including my engine and radio messages.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Yep I've seen tracers and damage messages but no sounds.

As the developers are completely re-doing the sound I guess this issue will get fixed.

I also get that I can hear damage sounds from other aircraft getting hit, either by my guns or someone else's.

the last thing I only get when in a Spit or Hurri, I dont hear my hits or other planes hits on the enemy when in a 109?

You mean you hear sounds from the game when you're online?
Wow...... you're so lucky!

Yup I've noticed the exact same things. Especially hearing bullet impacts which would be impossible to hear over a V12 engine, wind noise and of course the machineguns themselves.

There is a reason Luthier said they are rewriting the sound system from scratch, so many bugs and quality issues that appear to be quirks with the sound engine itself rather than simple data errors that could be fixed within minutes.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not sure if this is a 109 thing or an online problem.
Prop-Strike- the online sound bug seems to be hitting me less frequently lately (but having said that i've probably jinxed myself )
I've never heard hits on other planes in CoD.

I have noticed this issue on my system, but generally the game runs fine for me. I am about to build a system which looks as if it is more or less identical to the one in your Sig. How does it work for you at the moment?

i don't know about this guy but i can run the sim on high very high settings without problem
but with the latest patch i experienced some more stutters on the ground but not big deal
also theres not only issue for the EMIL with sound it appears to be with all the aircraft

This game runs fine for me- i get around 40fps average on the Black Death track but it drops to 8fps a couple of times as textures are loaded. I suspect its caused by a relatively slow HDD. The other time it slows for me is low flying over london, but that's because i insist on having eye-candy turned up. I get really good framerates with 'shadows' turned off but i am addicted to it.
I have all settings on high except forests (med) and buildings (low).
When i'm dogfighting i've never had an issue with framerates getting so low that i've been distracted by them.
