Is it possible to have your engine shut off if it get hit?

Yes, it also shuts off when youre flying to rough.

yes it is, ive done some extensive testing on the damage model and one of the things that came apparent, your engine can die and your just left to glide to the ground, it shows up on that little damage representation of your plane as black when it is not working

I once even landed the spit on that large runway with a hole blown in both wings, a hole in the tail section, bullet holes in the canopy, huge chunks in the elevators, jammed flaps, oil spattered cockpit and no propellor.

That must have been awsome.

Oh it was, God if only i had video recorded it.

you could probably do it yourself. just park your spit behind the enemy bomber without shooting it (very tempting) and let it fill you with hot lead until you think there is no more your plane can take. i would advise being somewhat near a runway or large field.

I'll try it. But it sems abit hard because the last time I was into the middle of an enemy bomber formation they filled my plane with so many holes I went in to an uncontrolable spin and crashed.

haha i know it all too well, i quite often have a 109 on my six when im doing it and as soon as he gets withing 50 meters of me ive got no chance. Down within a second

I tried something like that. I thought I would have a good look at the damage modeling by parking my Spit alongside a He111 and getting shot up some. First bullet killed my pilot, which wasn't the kind of damage I was looking for, but it was funny.

I just experienced this yesterday. I was trying my hand at realistic for Dover and got shot to when I was just chasing down bombers at the end. I watch my speed dwindle, by altitude get lower, and finally stall out over the water. It is maddening trying to get to the mainland going about 157
