it's, mainly, wrong interpretation of work of pilot...
something about this (russian, of course) -
http://www.airpages.ru/mt/mot61.shtml...
and part of basis, for myth - la-5 (maybe, not for some early la-5 with gargrot) and 7 have oil cooler, blinds after propeller and "zaslonki" on the sides of engine...
so, 3 manipulations for engine cooling, and it's can be modelled in game, why not?
for other planes too, but here need be careful - i remember when read t-62 manual after ww2 tanks (not simple things too), before play, it's really work with many details and if developer modelled this, it's will be not game...
well, what i'm talking, all understand this...
and here need to say about ART-41 (автомат регулирования температуры-41), for yaks'44, and strange performances of some yaks'44 with 518 kph at sl, etc - i and some other peoples think, these speeds of planes with a working art-41...
normal settings of radiators without art-41 in horisontal flight were - по потоку - it's mean someting like 1/3 from "full open", so, like in game this automat reduced speed of bf 109 (art-41 was copy of german automat, written in books)... or like in RL pilots of spit9 be not very satisfied with automatics for radiators and wanted manual control (if i'm not wrong)...
some yaks be old planes, how basis for tests of new features (like yak-9k) etc...
well, all sources need to be corrected, more or less...
