What did they actually hear though? - rounds impacting or stractural things breaking? Did they hear it of feel it? Which part of the aircraft did it hit and how bad was the damage?
What about the aircraft that came back that the pilot heard nothing and it had a massive hole in it?
What about the BoB pilots that got bounced and didnt hear or see anything?
If you ride a motorbike at 100 mph with a helmet on and scream as loud as you can you can hardly hear yourself - and thats comming from inside your own head! If you are listening to a walkman or something you can hardly tell its music let alone which tune it is when its on full volume. I think, at low speeds or in the apex of a stall as you start to dive after a full climb you hear it but maybe not when going over a certain speed, depending on the amount/size of rounds and the damage.
Hurricane for example, rounds can pass straight through the dope and canvass! - would that make a sound that you could hear in flight?

Have you never being concentrating so hard on something that you don't hear a mate shouting out your name?
The hurricane we have in cod has the metallic wing, they were changed very quickly
On a motorbike you are sitting on the engine with nothing between you and no canopy to stop the wind rushing part you, not really a good example IMHO, a car with a bloody loud engine would be a better one
