well. the truth is, probably simpler lists would work IRL too. and despite what some people think, breaking a limit does not mean instant engine blow up. Most time you are given very conservative engine setings, to stretch the engine life to a maximum, ence such big lists.
going O/T. would be awesome if il2 was able to record engine status after each flight and save it for the next mission (this is for offline campaigns and such). so that you respect limits, or you may end up flying huricanes for a week while the spit is in the repair shoop.
i once was told that spitfires had a rip chord system ont throtle, and if you slamed the throttle past the limit the chord would break, and upon landing, the plane would go for a full engine revision.
