Oleg I have another Q.: in IL2 we can hear the engine of approaching planes from a huge distance, so the surprise attacks are impossible. Will SoW fix this error?

Thx, Insuber

I remember you could here other aircraft in old 2001 IL-2 but didn't that go away in Forgotten Battles? The modders are the ones that brought it back.

This is very important to simulate realistic tactics.

This was possible only on some types of sound cards - because of their simplified drivers.
In BoB it is impossible.

Does it mean that SOW will not benefit from powerfull soundcards such as Creative X-Fi and all sound processing will be done in software?
I mean does it worth to buy good sound card, will performance be better?

I basically asked the same question here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=16685 but haven't gotten a definitive response yet.
