Now wouldn't that be special!

I don't know how well this would work in comparison to the rest of the aircraft from the same period, since it would have the same overheat/engine damage model shortcomings as the rest of the sim's planes. 72 inches is P51D class manifold pressure, but in real life you couldn't hold it for more than a minute or so.
If we get such a modified P40 in IL2, everyone will be happily cruising at 72" MAP all day long, so i doubt many servers would use it for balance reasons.
This got me thinking, are there any plans from TD to revisit some of the engine management details? I'm not expecting a complete rework of course, maybe just some tuning to overcome the most unrealistic bits. Thanks for all your work
