The radial engines in IL2 are FAR too susceptible to overheat, and the "golden BB" one shot seize up.
The P 47 in particular is a joke. It was perhaps the most robust fighter of WW2, but you would not think that if you judged it by it's in game ability to take damage.
Oh, and take a look at the placard on the panel that says to keep the engine cowling flaps closed above 150 mph. Do that in game and you will have a toasted R-2800 in very short order.
