I-16/ I-153 Engine Problem

Can anyone explain this to me?

From my understanding: Both of the aircraft that you mention had upgrades to the Carb meaning they could pull negative G maneuvers without choking the engine. Though you are right about the earlier versions of the Spit and Hurri (not in the game) having the Carburetor problems.
