Something is definitely broken. I seriously doubt the pilot notes IRL are this close between life and death of a motor. Motors are not built out of glass and damage isn't on/off as it seems in the sim, I mean I have beat some motors IRL and yes failure is there, but thats after weeks/months of beating it (not 30 seconds as in COD). And my military background with modern aircraft tells me, yes 30min full power NEEDS to be followed but in all reality it could probably go well past that time as long as all gauges stay out of the red. Yes apples and oranges but I Seriously doubt they would run that close to the edge w/ no chance for over rev / boost / ect. maybe the actual "gasoline" model is wrong in the game. with the right octane anything is possible.

Might be interesting reading for you, from the actual Spitfire IIA and IIB pilots notes regarding limitations on the Merlin XII engine...
