MW-50 had nothing to do with the allaged 'poor quality' of materials used in German engines, nor does it have to do anything with the cooling of the engine itself - something that ordinary radiators could already take care well. The primary use of MW-50 was step in an as a quasi intercooler of combustion temperatures and raising allowable boost without detonation with low octane fuels, although it was not that much of an issue with high octane C-3. Generic cooling qualities were a secondary, but very useful and effective feature of water injection (MW-50).
