No sound effect?

So when I'm flying around with a copter, example Cobra.
I fly over so enemy territory and I get fired upon, but I have no clue what it is that is firing at me. There is no sound for bullets hitting a copter? The screen just starts going black and you can see something is going wrong. So I would like to hear if it was a mounted MG firing at me or maybe a tank trying to take me down. If there is a sound for those (as there is) it should be somehow more louder so I could clearly hear the bullets knocking on my door or what so ever.

Erm, you should just hear bullets hitting the chopper, not be able to tell what it is, unless you're close enough (literally right next to them) to hear the firing sound over the rotor and engine sound.

Imagine yourself in a helicopter. Now, with the noise emitted from the turbines, you actually think in real life you hear where shots are coming from?

No no no no guys I wasn't saying that I need to hear the direction!

Just want to hear the bullets hitting me so I know that a MG is firing at me instead of a tailing jet or a tank etc.!

They'll all sound the same if they're similar calibres. You'd tell if you were being shot by a jet because of the tracers flying past you that don't hit you. Plus you'd be dead after a short burst if they're explosive tipped stuff.
