This video was featured here before some years ago. I remember at the time someone dryly commented that if the rather complex engine management was realistically simulated in the Aces High F4U, there'd be a lot of blown engines in the main arena.

Now that it's been posted again I must download it this time.

Yes there would be.  And flying tactics would drastically change too.

Keep in mind, this would be the case for ALL planes.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I would be willing to bet that more than 50% would not even able to get air-born let alone fly !
