You're right. I made a mistake. I assumed that at least some versions of the C-47 still used the R-1820 that powered the DC-3, but one of the many changes for the military version of the DC-3 was a switch over to P&W R-1830.

My point still holds, though, that the amount of damage an engine can absorb should be independent of the plane it's mounted in.

While the worst offender in the game is probably the Alison V-1710 (immortal in the P-39, P-400 and P-63, made of thin glass when mounted in the P-40), there are other engines, like the R-1820, which vary widely in their ability to absorb damage in the game.

Mind you, I'm only talking about the engine and its ability to absorb damage before losing power or stopping.

Oil and coolant installations are a different story entirely, so time until overheat can vary, as can amount of damage to oil and coolant systems required to make the engine overheat and shut down.
