do the engine gauges still work properly?

[David198502]

hey guys.
i just flew a mission where my bf E4 took a few hits, and i saw, that i lost liquid.though i dont know which one.could be water or fuel.nevertheless, i observed my engine gauges, and fuel amount didnt decrease,and the temps were in the healthy range, and the pressure of fuel and oil were at their normal levels.
after about 5 to 10 minutes, the engine began to stutter badly, oil was suddenly all over my canopy, but still all the gauges showed the normal values.
finally i ditched into the channel.some few seconds before i got wet, the fuel pressure dropped very promptly to zero, although the fuel amount still showed 50%....

is this a correct behaviour of the gauges?

i flew the mission offline, and i wanted to provoke such a situation, with the actual aim, that as soon i would have observed a change in the temps,pressure or amount values to try to make it back.

i remember a few patches ago, that i often recognized changes in the pressure values, when the plane was damaged, and as soon i observed such irregularities, i headed back, often with success.the values often decreased slowly, so i had a chance to fly home.
but i havent seen this behaviour for some time now, so i wanted to ask if its still working that way.
