I would think you are absolutely right Bearcat. It would not be fun if I played the game for 30 minutes and then when the action starts some random failure ends it for me. That is just stupid IMHO.
What is funny is that people want realism but don't seem to understand that all of these games are inherently unrealistic in their basic game play. Pilots don't fly around at even maximum continuous settings much less WEP. That seems to be the norm however when playing. They did not have the fuel to that for one thing nor would their engines handle it.
The most realistic thing they could do to simulate WWII air combat would be to rework the RPM/manifold pressure settings to make maximum continuous the 100% setting and reset the overheat times to correspond to the time allowed for operation above 100% output. Anything setting above maximum continuous is a short duration sprint setting and is stressing the engine.
Make the fuel consumption values where it was important to keep your aircraft at cruise settings would also help.
