Engine sounds are disappointing

It certainly seems that way . What I was looking for was a link to an actual quote from Luthier or one of the other devs, stating that they intend to replace the current placeholders with better sounds. I heard the placeholder thing a lot recently, but I don't remember seeing any official word on it.

Yeah, did a small search but I found nothing. The noob(lol) sounds does indicate that the game was rushed and they just had to slap some sounds in there. Better to have some sound than nothing at all. That's my only theory. I think I heard somewhere that Oleg did mention that they were placeholders but I'd have to read through every interview with him then.

externaly at least this is what a DB605 should sound like - can't believe the 601 is much different - where is the missing whine ? I'm sure even early il2 in 2001 sounded more like this:
