Fact is that there are piles of evidence from pilots' narations, pilots that actually have flown combat missions, which are all clear in one point: they could not hear other planes.
I cannot understand why people continue to reject first hand accounts in order to preserve some sort of sound radar and present sound radar as realistic.

Not sure if it's a case of dissregarding first hand accounts, but without looking at the individual accounts we'll never know what conditions it occured under.
If your in your tiger moth with a 140HP motor idling away as you decend on short finals and a 109 with a 1000HP at full throttle comes diving down on you, when would you be able to hear it?
Between that and a Spitfire is a whole range of different aircraft, motors, situations that will effect whether you could hear the outside noise or not.
I guess my point is if they put in a blanket ban on hearing out side noises, it would be just as unrealistic as it is now, but if they put the effort in making the sound engine model the appropriate rules closely enough then it should approximate what we should in reality which is all that anyone really want's
A few other threads have been telling us how few CPU cycles COD is using so there should be no effect on our performance if they do a few extra caclulations for sound?
