Yes that is something I miss in IL2, cause in IL2 you just have to close radiator and when you see an overheat, you just open, throttle down, and here you go again...
In RoF, for example, if you dive in an Se5a, you can dive pretty hard and the structure will hold tight, but watch your engine as it may overrev, ending that beautiful and deadly dive in a long and vulnerable glide down to the ground...
Or fully opening your radiator if you are idling in a descent, your engine will cool down to a point you will have problems getting some power back, or it can even fully stop and you may have problems restarting it !
Another thing is wounds! they are handled in the best way i've ever seen in a Sim ! The first version was awefull... but now when you get hit, besides from the usual "slower" controls, you are stunned for a few seconds, with your ears whistling, vision very blurry, blood drops on the screen...
So RoF has a great feeling, but as it was said before, it lacks the game part...
It might be better in squad but in multi, you go on "air-quake" servers which have little interest to me, or you go to the syndicate server to have semi historical missions but then you fall against aces against who you can't do anything... so you try solo career and it really is bad at the moment...
But there is a very much awaited new career mode that is gonna be released soon (in 1.17 if everything goes well), so I really am counting on this mode !
Anyway, it's worth buying and I don't regret any penny I spent on it (even though I own each and every plane + Gotha)
