But will your mod works with Slikks Battle Sounds Mod

This mod cancels out two of the explosion sounds in the Battle Sounds mod.

I downloaded the files and didn't try em in the game since I thought we would hear shrapnel at every flak explosion. Am I right?

Yes you are right.
I tried this mod out, and although it is good in theory, I did not like the fact that I could hear the shrapnel impact sound at the end of the sample even though the explosion was clearly out of range of my plane.

If there's a way to hear the shrapnel only when the explosions are close to us

This is how the game works already. If the flack is close enough to you, and debris from the explosion hits your plain, the game triggers a sound that dose what this mod is simulating. The problem with this mod is that it simulates the impact of your plane being hit by flack every time the sample is triggered. With this mod there is no way around it; you will hear the impact of your plane being hit by flack every time the samples in this mod are triggered. This is alright if the explosion is within close range of your plain, but I could still hear it even though the explosion was far off in the distance.

Now that I think of it, maybe the reason that I hear the impact at further range is probably because I tested this mod with the Battle Sounds mod running as well. The Battle Sounds mod enables you to hear explosions at greater range than the stock game, so if you are not using the Battle Sounds mod, the impact of your plain being hit by flack when the explosion is out of range may not be a problem.
