Yep, being shot at from an enemy that you haven’t located yet gets taxing. I love that you can listen though and have an idea of what kind of weapon is shooting at you by the sound of the impacts of the rounds.

The manual says: "If the ‘always play enemy sounds’ option is enabled then all the battlefield sounds are always played, even if the sound source is not detected and identified, regardless if the ‘player character’ option is not enabled."

That was done on purpose so human player cannot identify enemy position and cheat.

It's seen only if the unit is fully identified.

Well, tracers have big impact in night combat... you can try find origin of them even if you lack the tech to cheat in night combat [:D]

Sound help tactical info when you are in the correct area when your unit blow up, out of this i doubt give extra info when you are in a chaotic combat situation.

I prefer see harder know the exact model of the enemy vehicle you are attacking but add a specific message in log were attacker unit can say "enemy unit resist our attacks" to have a rough info about you are not shooting light armor.

There are the 'muzzle flash' symbols on the map that simulate this. At night, if the weather is good, these can be seen from kilometers away.
