you just answered why you can't hear anything outside the cockpit with that 2000 HP engine screaming in front of you.

the air around and in your ears is already vibrating so much anything beyond your enclosed cockpit has to travel through the air outside the plane, through the canopy into an airspace that is so insanely disturbed by all the vibration within the aircraft that distant sounds get lost and become indestinguishable.

and you are waering ear protection for gods sakes.

In IL-2 I think the oil on the windscreen is overdone and seriously limiting to the person playing in that plane. I don't know that its true to life in any respect but it seems blinding unmovable. At least with what I have seen of HTC's version of it you can at least get a feeling that the oil has moved a bit on the screen due to air.

AH's oil streaks are definitely more realistic than Il-2's blotches, but still not that realistic. More streaks should keep building until the windscreen is completely black. I fully understand the gameplay concession though.

As an aside: I wonder if it's possible to land a plane in AH on a runway completely on instruments. I think the clipboard provides enough information to do it.

In this situation (clipboard in the middle of the screen) I was able to land a pony watching beside and paying attention at some reference point I've previously fixed on the ground.

In another circumstance (AH1) I've landed also during a blackout while I was wounded but, I think this one will be no more possible in AH2.

I dont think the oil stains are really that loud that one cannot hear anything. Thread hi-jackers on the other hand are pretty damn loud

All I can say is, that I was flying the beta with Viyking the other day and we copped a round in the engine!

Oil all over the canopy.

We both screamed in terror!

Had to land quick and fast. It was too scarey :-)

Many Didnt.

A lot of communication was done by hand signals, Or using the Aircrafts Wings.

Fortunatley for Ah pilots we dont need to practice "Radio Silence".
And Hand Gestures, Which we cant do Anyway arn't needed.
