Gowan's ... er... lack of tact.. aside, you should probably use the search function first. These have been discussed many a time over the years.

We actually have engine overheat, sort of. Your WEP shuts down after a certain heat. You lose radiator and overheat and kill your engine. I just wanted to point that out, but I get what you're saying. Some folks want what you've requested also.

Why is that the new players have no right to discuss things?  Maybe they would like to enjoy talking about the game much like you do?  Why should they care about a post from 3 years ago?  Maybe try to understand the excitment they feel about talking about what they are doing?  Maybe a new discussion could bring new ideas to light?  What right do you have to tell them to sit down and be quiet?  Krusty you are a very intelligent guy and I really enjoy reading some of your posts.  Since you found this post to be redundant, why not just stay out? Was it really so imporant to tell people to shut up?  ....gee whiz ....come on

We have engines that over heat, but that just make's it so you can use wep. (and of course the wep is what makes it over heat)

The high G gun jams would just be annoying, games like red baron has such effects way back in the day, and unlike two vickers machine guns, it would be realy hard to unjam guns in your wings.

Also dunno how much people would like to be firing and have there guns jam, not to mention the code base would make the gun "damaged/broken" so if you did land for rearm and such, your gun would probably stay broken.
Altho, one might think while the crew is putting more ammo belts in the plane, they might be able to change out jamed or damaged guns.

Im not sure how ground crews treated such things in a front line combat situation in wwII.
Anyone know?

Well .. im sure im not the first to bring it up nore the last ....    Yes, maybe the jambs would be annoying ... although again a adds realism aspect ... and the engine overheat would keep the unlimitted running to a min ... I can already hear it ...  " go fly IL2 .... "    one extreme to the other... it just seems with the various other arena's limitted use .... to add one or to change one for more realism .. just to see what kind of turn out it would get ... ????   Dont you get tired of same old thing ... didnt we all come here cuz offline flying was lame and borring ... this was more real ... the whole premis .. no ?
