No sounds when I get hits

IS it normal that I cannot hear any sound/ping when someone hits me?

And when I hit an enemy plane there are no flashes or other graphic effets to see if I hit him.

Not getting sounds when you're hit has been a long standing bug in CloD that only happens sometimes. It only happens with large caliber ammo like 20mm and above. If you get shot at by a Spitfire's 8 MGs you'll hear it going absolutely nuts.

 

The hit flashes are there but only on certain ammunition types. Observer/Beobachtung rounds make small grey puffs but are not very effective at damaging planes. The "De Wilde" incendiaries make very small white/yellow flashes, I'm pretty sure incediary rounds from other machine guns have similar properties. 20mm exposive shells make black puffs similar to a flak burst - but these effects are much smaller than you might see in IL2 GB. You can customise your ammo belts if you make your own mission files or if you fly online, I like to use a mix of AP and Incendiaries (de Wildes for the .303s) on MGs and as many explosive shells as possible in the 20mm cannons - the M-Geschoss shells are no joke.

It is annoying indeed, you think you negated the angle to the enemy, try to maneuver to no avail, look around to find your wings are no more...
