Opinions on engines lasting so long with broken cooling systems?

[Redroach]

Do you have any hard data for this? I mean, other than "so long" or "like there's no tomorrow"?
Maybe these guys challenging others are already struggling and - well, don't want to give up yet?
Maybe there are different levels of broken cooling systems (at least I hope so)...

The answer to your question would obviously be a no,your missing the point a presume, some things you cant get 'accurate' but i would gather and that gather comes from common sense coolant being pored out like it is in game sometimes would hinder said engine pretty ill i would suspect..

That would be a turn for home for the most part wouldn't it? Not fly around for another hour looking for ea?

OP i suspect its not even been modeled as it should be...i could be wrong but its not the first or only system not modeled correctly at the moment and i doubt its got a high priority either

I did this the other day in my 109, copped a coolant and oil leak after attacking a group of wellingtons that were otw to france... i dived low and started heading home expecting the engine to overheat and die.... as i reached the coast i noticed that it wasnt overheating, temps were fine, pressure was fine, so continued on for another 1/2 hour - 45 minutes climbing to alt and cruising around before running out of ammo and rtb'd. Deffinitly not right

Another attempt to de rail a perfectly good question and discussion?

you just cant help yourself...a lot of irony in your feeble reply though

I'll stay thanks all the same (and no need for any personal attacks from you either)... this is an interesting subject

There is an entry on the bugtracker for this so if you think radiator damage and coolant leak is not being modeled properly you can vote for it here: http://www.il2bugtracker.com/issues/290
