How to use the YAK-1

It's because you're cutting the fuel from getting to the engine, so the engine cuts out. And it also happens if you're using WEP too often or for too long. So when flying the I-16, always roll into a dive and don't use WEP so often. It'll burn your engine out and just kill it for good. (They didn't make it possible to restart the engine in a dive like in '46.)

Actually you can restart the engine in a dive if you're high enough, its just the propeller doesn't continue to spin with the engine once you pull up out the dive. It just jams itsself, another silly bug is my guess; nobody ever game tested it.
