I know that on some jets, the electronics can sometimes have one after-burner on and the other off in unusual circumstances to maintain stability, such as when a gust of cross-wind is encountered. It's obviously unclear about the exact circumstances of this situation.
I wonder how far the modding of after-burners in IL-2 can go? Could the Mig-17 have special timing on after-burner ignition? Would it change in different conditions? I think it would.
When I was in the USAF, I was a mechanic on the F-4 Phantom. The afterburners were always used together on take-off. The only reason for it not to be lit is an AB no light. I saw it so many times, we used to take bets on how many acft could get off the ground in a days flying without one failing.
