For those that are saying that the 109 sounds "better" than the Hurricane, I will rebut that they sound different, as they should.

The DB 601 displaces 2070.5 cubic inches, while the Merlin has a capacity of 1650 cubic inches. The DB also has a lower compression ratio, and is a lower revving engine as well, so it will sound very different than it's Rolls Royce rival, or the Allison V-1710 for that matter.

just spent some time going over the two vids again... the engine "sound" is the same for both planes (the original raw sound if you will).. its just as ElAurens says, the DB 601 sounds is at a lower frequency than the Merlin's.

it looks like 1C took a recording of (im guessing) a russain v12 liquid cooled engine and used it as the base model for the DB's and Merlins.

nothin' wrong with that... just workin' with what they had.

either way, it sounds better than il2's engine thats for sure

The devs mentioned that is exactly what they did, recorded Russian engine then synthesised it. I can't find the post but they said it was too expensive to fly out to record a Merlin/DB

yeah I know that too.. I mean that's why I typed that.. Luthier said that they didn't have the budget to record actual DBs and Merlins. so they used "Russia aircraft" instead.

Edit: Commenting on IL2 smoke mod that has since been removed.

Hmm, at a distance it looks alright, but up close it looks fake ( to me ). If you pause the video during the closeup shots, you see separate "balls" of smoke. ( 0:32 to 0:40 )

Lol, imagine if some of the CoD update stills had shown discrete "balls" of smoke. The complaints would have melted the internet
