If that's historically correct, then I guess it's okay. Just a little more uphill for us Red to climb
Redundant systems, the 109s had a system for shutting pressure to a damaged radiator, and a single rad was enough to cool it somewhat. Although it shouldn't last forever at high output, it would be a far longer lasting than the single rad being damaged in the RAF planes.
