(1.5 inches of armor glass, 7 mm of armor below the cockpit combing down to the engine block, 7 mm behind the pilot. The pilot's seat wasn't armored, however.)

Additionally, any hit to the front of the engine through the prop boss instantly (or nearly instantly) kills the engine.

Any hit from the front through the radiator housing kills the oil/cooling system, resulting in engine shutdown within about a minute. While this is legitimate, it's possible that the damage boxes for the cooler system are larger than they were in real life (see diagrams in the pilot's manual).

There are a lot of problems with the 3D model for the P-40E and M... both are getting a make over for a future patch. Totally new 3D mesh and damage model systems... I don't know for a fact but I would make a guess that this may help with the poor damage modeling.
