In IL-2 1946 and in all previous versions a negative G engine stall occurs on the Hurricane I as it should.

Yeah, I know a history.
But in IL-2 it happens on the Hurricane I, but not on a Spitfire, which was my point.
In our game we have identification of engine stalls, but engine won't break, only engine power lowers. (sometimes engines've stopped running in a real).

Honestly I wouldn't mind a proper engine stall in the game BoP as well. Simulation mode on. Certainly I'm looking forward to that in Storm of War. Not so much silly in my mind

I was talking about our console players - they were not asking for that .
They'll be confused in such a case.

In any case...as I say...wish you the best of luck in the development of this game. A big challenge and a work of art absolutely.

Thanks a lot.

Actually a correction. There is no Spitfire Mark I in IL-2 so therefore no reason to model the problem. The earliest Spitfire in IL-2 is the Mark V which did not suffer any adverse negative G problems that other planes didn't also suffer (no WWII warbird is capable of prolonged negative G).

If there was a Spit Mark I then it should be modeled.

Probably you right
I am starting to forget what it was in IL-2 (and it's add-ons).
Another example. Afair, Bf109 (at least some of them) were able to get out of spin only each second turn - it wasn't simulated.

My version has one.
