Moreover, VK107 was a very poorly engineered power plant, with extremely low durability, and serious overheating problems. We dont see either ingame.
Shortly after the war, the soviets tried to fix the lubrication problems (which was responsible for overheating and engine seizure), but despite the improvements, the engine remained very unreliable.
