For 109 E-3 emergency power 1.45 Ata ( 1.4 Ata for 601A) was allowed only for 1 mminut so it was very short time to use, also 1.35 Ata was also only allowed for 5 mintues - so its mean that both 1.45 Ata and 1.35 in 109 was seriously restricted by time - much more then in Merlin. Of course it was only for low to medium alts. At higher alts such boost pressure wasnt possible to achive due to lack of supercharger power.
All i'm saying is that it's not IL2:1946 anymore where we can run with 110%+WEP by opening radiators every 5 minutes and lowering prop pitch because the overheat is directly tied to RPM. In the new sim there are limits and as such, WEP really means emergency power and can't be used all day long like it was in IL2:1946.

Sure, 12lb boost could save your virtual life a few times. It's just not something you can run for the entire mission if you fly at full difficulty and that's good, because that's the way it worked in reality as well.

I would still like it to get fixed and accurate according to historical data, i just don't expect any massive advantage for being able to run it for a couple of minutes during a 60 minute sortie.
