Float carburetor failed on British planes only?

[Overwatch Blender]

This has to be the most gamebreaking and unfair thing ever. Don't even bring up "realism" or historical accuracy when 6 times out of 10 you get "Alternate reality" missions which are unfair as hell. I have played about 5 RB batles in my British planes, and all the times I died were due to "Float carburetor failed". For no reason at all. Sometimes it was because I turned to intercept an aircraft. Sometimes it was because I was in a shallow dive. It's just unfair and stupid. People say keep an eye on the temperature, but YOU CAN'T. They removed the HUD option. So now you have no way to see it at all.

If you want to add historical reliability problems, where are the Tigers breaking down? Where are the wings ripping on BF109s and FW 190s diving at 450 MPH on me? Just. No. Don't bother adding realistic features if you make it unfair. British low tiers were already having a hard time in RB, but they seriously nerfed their gameplay. I no longer get kills with my Spitfire MK IIb, only sparks. I also got on to someone's tail, sprayed at least 10 times in bursts with my Hurricane MK IIb, I actually ripped a bit of his wing off and got a TON of sparks, but nope, he goes 90 degrees up in the air and evades me. Why didn't I get the kill? BECAUSE MY FLOAT CARBURETOR DIED WHEN I WAS FOLLOWING HIM. THEN HE CAME AROUND AND KILLED ME INSTANTLY. If that isn't unfair, I don't know what is.

Honestly with the low tier spits, the best way to avoid carb failure is to avoid -G's and also to avoid inverted manuveres. And should it fail, just pull into a straight flight, and go into a climb to force fuel back into the engine.

I can't, because the engine conveniently dies when I'm dogfighting, causing me to have to break off and fly around at 200 mph with enemies on my ass for a few seconds. Sometimes it doesn't even come back to me at all.

You are flying a bit plane, it is afterall a turn fighter, if your engine fails toss flaps, hit the brakes, and watch him fly by (force an overshoot).

A big part of it is just avoiding the floating carb fail as well, its just something early spitfires suffered from.

I am assuming you are using the War Thunder Auto Pilot mode (aka Mouse Aim).

If you try and turn fast using said mode you MAY turn in a way that the Computer see as more direct, but which will cause the carb to fail.

Before executing hard turns make sure your underside of the plane is facing outwards on the turn, and the cockpit is on the inside of the turn.

Doing this will produce a high-g turn and keep fuel flowing.

You will need to use keyboard movment to invert your plane prior to the turns, becuase if you leave it to Mouse Aim it will simply pull into the turn cockpit out and there goes your fuel.

Never had my cockpit on the outside of the turn unless I forced it... I also fly mouse aim unless I am watching someone on my tale then I switch to keyboard.

I do that all the time, maybe not enough rolling before I turn in.
