Will the P-40 engine limits be fixed at some point, or it will just be left as it is now? :(

This engine timer problem already debated about the 109s aswell, supported by historical documents, still...since 2018..not implemented.

Dak you should change your profile pic to XD. Also This is less sever with 109 v P-40. It seems like P-40 has a ridiculous engine timer compared to any other aircraft.

The P-40 we have has no MP regulator (historical) unlike every other aircraft in BoX, if you give it full throttle it can produce 1700+ HP which is too much for a 1941 V1710 to handle (later ones had many upgrades) . 

Situation not helped by MP gauge that only goes to very Conservative reading (also historical) 

 

And no, I like my profile pic it has sentimental value

The timer itself is the issue. If i watch the gauge and hold MP at around 50-51 for too long the engine breaks. Not full throttle I am aware of the single stage supercharger operating at low alts can over pressure the engine. This is not what I was talking about, its the time of 1 min at a reasonable "full power" pressure that will brick the engine which I feel is not a good representation. At least make the timers less silly if they must be used as a stop gap, specifically on the P-40 which feels like it is the worst handicapped by this.

 

correction if I hold the MP at around 47" not 50"

It has always been the most ridiculous complaint in the history of the IL2 flight sim when someone complains that the aircraft that they are flying will not do something as well as a completely different type of aircraft, thus putting them at disadvantage in combat. This type of complaint is so silly it is sad that it even exists. Why would anyone expect two completely different machines to have the same qualities or performance ???

 

  In WWII pilots learned the actual qualities of their aircraft and the qualities of enemy aircraft and used that information to be more effective in combat, they did not go on a forum and cry that the enemies aircraft had more power, could turn better etc.. 

 

  The type of virtual combat pilots that resort to this are the ones that are not very good and blame their tools instead of the craftsman wielding them.

 

   IL2 has gone through dozens of patches in the last 20+ years and the personalities of the aircraft in it have often changed, sometimes drastically, with many of those patches. But through every patch the good pilots always remained good, and the bad pilots always remained bad............

Yup, get good jack, there is nothing wrong with strick engine timers efecting some airplanes the way they didnt effect them in real world, its just bad players complaining they cant get kills, good to know.

 

Same like there was nothing wrong with .50 cal, it was just bad aim bro, wonder why it got fixed then and how same ppl sudenly learned to aim good

Actually,  suddenly I started seeing a lot of comments complaining the 50's are now OP and pilot snipes are to common to be realistic.  Which I personally find funny as hell.

But i haz to be able to remove head rest to see better, how iz .50 AP ONLY killing pilot. If AP is in game good only for kiling pilots i wonder why 100% time its pk that ends fights... If we had real historic ammo for .50 maybe there would not be only pks, but thats we never gona get so it iz what it iz  .50 OP 

good thing is we gona get more axis only flying merican stuff

Lol. Like so many other issues with the game, it will get looked at when they have time. Right after all of the really essential things like a different canopy for the Spit14 for $30. Or screwing up the sun several different ways. And everyone is absolutely loving the glass pilots we have had for a few updates. These are important additions to the game. There just has not been time to actually get correctly acting planes and bullets. Those are just window dressing for the stellar atmosphere we all play the game for.

Literally the only plane I would refund if I could.
