I don't know yet if pitot heat or carb heat is modeled to avoid these RW issues, but I guess it's only a matter of time.
Aircraft with radial engines like the G.50 and the Blenheim have carb heat. Also, pitot heat is modeled (i don't know how many planes have it though, i guess all would), you just need to bind a key to it in the options
