I hope that in BoB we'll have even better engine management and realistic automatic systems as well.

Right now in IL-2 some planes with manual controls require minimal management (some allied planes i've tried mostly), while others that were fitted with automatic systems perform better if you do it manually (namely the A series of fw-190s, the Dora's and the 109s are good on auto but not the Antons).

Of course, these are the limitations of a 7 year old gaming engine, but i'd like to have to fly with proper settings in the next sim, like paying attention to manifold pressure and rpm instead of simply memorizing throttle positions. "Hmm, this is a Dora, i can run 100%+WEP all day long with rads closed, this is an Anton, i can run 100%+WEP with 80-90% pitch and high speed, this is a Mustang, i can ask someone what his memorized settings are, and this is a 109, i can't touch anything except the throttle or the engine will die"
