The sounds of IL-2 have always been the sim's weakest spot (I think most users would agree after using one of the sound mods out there). The impact of better sounds is significant in terms of immersion and would contribute greatly to the simming experience of all IL-2 users with no performance hit. Heck, even Jane's World War II Fighters from 1998 had infinitely better sounds than stock IL-2 has today.

tbh, i use the stock sounds in game, rather than the sound mods. some are good, like the whistle tone of the 109, but some are just so awful it ruins it. the canned hit sounds for one. and whilst the mods sound good on flypast, i cannot help but think they are using up resources for things that you simply would not be able to pick out over the headphones, RT and general roar of being in a cockpit. essentially they are superfluous.

i'd agree with that. it would be an immense task to improve and maintain the same standard across the board that *some* of the sounds mods have added.
almost SoW proportioned in fact.
which begs the further question - would the effort be wasted?
