I am able to tell tha DB apart from a Merlin - didn't do anything with my sound settings. I think one could hear a plane in front of him (tight scissors and similar situations) but definitely not behind him.

As for open canopy on RAF - as someone remarked, you can hear better, but many including myself do that simply to get better view.

which is no better than improving one's sound radar imho. You take profit from the lacks of the current engine that does not provide for additional drag or for additional buffeting sound with open cockpit.
