OTOH, I guess that once the engine catches on fire, it explodes fast.

To me, the strangest thing is how different the engine damage models of the P39 and P40 are, despite the engines being the same. Flying the P39 you almost never have time to bail out after the engine is seriously hit, which seems to be after fewer hits than other engines. The P40 loses engine power frequently, but it's engine never blows up killing the pilot like the P39s engine always does. All of this from playing single player, mostly in the Forbidden Battles careers.
