Just fire up a quick mission in a spit or hurri, engage autopilot and watch the boost/rpm gauges closely and watch your temps never exceeding 80° Oil/105° Water at revs around 2800 to 3000 with rads fully closed!!!

And that is what most are talking about when they say the AI cheat..
In essance the AI can run the engine longer at peek settings than the real user.. I take that to mean that at the time of IL-2 (10 years ago) dev, they didnt think they had the resorses or smart enough AI to manage all those things.
On that note, prior to reaching the point where the real user's plane overheats, I don't recal 1C ever stating that the AI was able to obtain more performance than the real user.
With that said
That was all true of IL-2, I have yet to see 1C come out and say that is still the case with CoD
