Ever since i got it i barely use WEP and still it happens 95% of the time, it happend to me after 30 mins mostly but also have it happen after 15 minutes.
Just try and dogfight in tiger hunt for as long as possible not getting hit, high chances it WILL happen to you.
It feels like its a bug, but cant say for sure.

In IL2, you can put stress on your engine and cause it to stop or cut engine performance. Have you been doing negative g's and stuff like that?

Nope, and im sure im not the only one with this problem.

i mean if there are so many targets, you are gonna be busy for a while, doesent make sense your plane cant make it through the mission.

Have you tried to just fly away from all of the action? Don't even engage on anything then see what happens.

Aye, it is, but to see if it is a bug, then you have to verify that it is not damage (even if you don't think you are getting hit) or over-exertion of the engine.

My guess could be that you are just taxing the engine for to long. I'm not sure how long a plane can last up there, but could it be that, given the demo doesn't have fuel consumption, that the engine is being used for too long? I'm not a HUGE plane nerd, so I can't say definitively.

Well for missions with limited Ammo and such i can understand it, but if you say we cannot put limited ammo in the campaign missions because you need to kill to many targets, it doesent make sense if your engine breaks down after using it so much, In that mission you have to face ATLEAST 20 FW190D's.
