bf109 and p47 engines very fragile why

[gbtstr]

Must be in Sim mode, I'm guessing.

Play Realistic mostly and have never noticed any ill effects on the DB engines in the 109s. I usually run those things around on WEP all day, even when shot up and they keep me in the fight pretty well. P-47 does okay for a while, too. Usually if I get hit bad enough, the engine out is the least of my worries. Otherwise, it can take a beating.

On realistic, in my experience the Spit's have the most fragile engines. A little ping to the front end and you'll be in for a nylon let-down pretty soon.

The Yak-9T, seems to have a fragile engine as well. Though I don't fly it as often as the Yak-1B or Yak-1M, when I do, I've realized that.

Oh, it's there if you look carefully, because it's just disguised as a Yak-3. I figured, that since they didn't bother to get the stick right, and the windscreen correct, it's just the design variant of the Yak-3, before they decided to call it the Yak-3... I kinda got bored trying to imagine that I could see through the cluttered windscreen.
