Aye, it is, but to see if it is a bug, then you have to verify that it is not damage (even if you don't think you are getting hit) or over-exertion of the engine.

My guess could be that you are just taxing the engine for to long. I'm not sure how long a plane can last up there, but could it be that, given the demo doesn't have fuel consumption, that the engine is being used for too long? I'm not a HUGE plane nerd, so I can't say definitively.

Well for missions with limited Ammo and such i can understand it, but if you say we cannot put limited ammo in the campaign missions because you need to kill to many targets, it doesent make sense if your engine breaks down after using it so much, In that mission you have to face ATLEAST 20 FW190D's.

Yea i dont know either, i'll just see if its in the full game and see if its only me. I might do something wrong never know, but up to now it doesnt feel like i did anything wrong.

So we'll see!
I enjoy the game anyway

not to mention the six 50cal. dont do anything to ground targets, ive seen old ww2 gun cam films were they blow up tanks and trains with out rockets maybe it would be good to mention to developers because i think that should be part of game

Shooting a tank with .50cals wouldn't do anything. It would do some damage to a train though, so maybe that should be modelled.

Must have been a lucky shot to take out a tank on a strafing run. The only way that would happen is if a round went through the hatch and hit some shells.
