sound

why are the guns so low in volume . Or am i doing something wrong. I have the sound volume 100 percent.  Engine sounds  are fine.

 

or is this the  way it is.  Other sims the sound is somewhat more realistic . Not complaining  just wondering.

You need to turn it up to 11.

Actually the other sims have the gun volume turned up to "Hollywood".  The sound pressure levels in the cockpits of WW2 fighters were extremely high for starters, and the pilot is wearing a headset of some sort over his ears to be able to hear his radio over the din of the engine and airflow noise.  Hearing the guns in the cockpit is much different that standing outside the aircraft on the ground and firing the guns.

I've never fired aircraft guns in real life before but I am not sure if hearing the guns at all is really historical. I think I've read pilot accounts where they 'feel' the guns firing but don't hear it.

Exactly, Redkestrel.  I have read the same thing.
