Will the early spitfires and hurries have the de havilland two speed prop pitch instead on the rotol constant speed propellers.
And will there be a engine run to were you have to test for propllers that run away and other test to make sure every is running ok and also the be about to switch the constant speed propeller off when they do loss control or get damaged.
With IL2 the time a engine can run when over heat has been modelled in as a preset time no mater how hard i run the engine or the height and weather condition. Will this be variable depending on the condition and make were if you don't check gauges you will damage the engines.

IL2 has some degree of engine damage due to overheat probably dependant on aircraft and map type.
Take a TB3 on the Kalkin Gol Map,
set all realism switches on, 25 % fuel 28 x100 fabs climb to 500m, , make a target for yourself to attack say 4-5 grids there and back (not too far).
You cant run over 59% power if you overheat whilst climbing, your engines will degrade so much you wont make it back to base, they need constant management to avoid damaging them even firing the extinguishers to cool them helps
Now whether this is a feature or a bug in the maps ambient temperature I'm not sure but it shows IL2 has overheat modelled to engine damage in varying degrees.
