A while ago, I did some tests against a Yak-9U. I flown a La-7 (needed something that is really uber, that is superior to Yak9U in every aspect), and I deliberately shot at the engine of the Yak. Just a few hits were enough to make the engine emit a thick black smoke. I continued with the test, and did not shoot down the yak. I got bored following its tail around 8-10 minutes, and eventually downed it, but during this time, I did not notice any decrease in the performance of the Yak despite heavy engine damage!
It was a few years ago, around 4.11, dont know if it was fixed or not since.
