Why the FK the planes are droping without having any damage after few runs? You do your runs, you bomb and suddenly it’s starts loosing height and you cannot go up and you crash to the ground!
What kind of bug is this?!?!?!?!
if you go full, 110%, your engines overheat and you lose power

There are many topics about it on this forum from people asking sort of “same question” (without all this anger as in OP), where answers were given, sometimes it’s best to just use “search function”.
In short don’t fly constantly at max throttle (110% for most planes, 100% for Yak-1). Use it (max power) on your way to rearm point or when engaging enemy planes, but most of the time you should use about 90% to not overheat your engine/s and lose power.
Edit: One more thing, all this losing power because of overheat is not a bug, at least I think it isn’t because how it works the same way in War Thunder. The only problem in Enlisted is the lack of any HUD indication about overheating, we don’t even have working instruments showing temperature inside cockpit, so no way to tell how long can you fly at max power, yet.

And even if your plane doesn’t have 110% same if you stick at 100% - Yak-1 and SB-2M in Moscow are like that.
Always spend a bit of time at <100% - usually easiest time to do it is after reloading.
Stop running your engines to death. There is throttle for a reason and you’re probably burning up your engine oil. I run max 88% even when rearming, the difference in speed is negligible and you never risk overheat.
I completely turn off throttle when going down for for a bombing run. You don’t need throttle, you already go down, gravity does the rest. It’s easier to target things precisely as you go a bit slower, and it also gives your engines a break… it’s easy…
