If the new engine model is anything like what we see in the video, not even CSP propellers are going to save us the first few times and to be honest, i'm really looking forward to "dying" in a variety of new ways but also exploiting the same thing against the opposition.

Imagine you're flying online and you hear "break right" on the radio", you look back to your 5 o'clock and see an enemy aircraft on a dive towards you with its guns blazing.
The usual fighter combat tactic of turning into the attack (by now a mere instinctive reaction after so many years of flight simming) is triggered, you slam the throttle forward and execute your break turn and then...what's that "whaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" noise?
The governor can't keep up with the sudden increase in power, you reach 4000 RPM and break the prop governor. You end up with a runaway prop, the engine is fried and the other guy just got a kill without firing a single shot...he just gives you a small burst so the game can register the kill, waves his wings at you and zooms back up into the blue.

It's going to be awesome
