MW50 -Secondary effects were cooling of the engine .

[jermin]

Oleg got it pretty right. You could use MW50 continuously for about 10 mins without damaging the engine in former versions. Don't know what the current change was based upon though. But FatCat has said in the forum that the MW50 would be corrected in the next patch. Let's wait and see.

4.101 was released in about one and a half month after the realease of 4.10. So I guess we will see 4.111 pretty soon.

Edit: The capacity of the MW50 tank on 109s could hold the amount of fluid that can provide approximately 26 minutes' running, while 35 minutes on D9 and TA. Oleg has also got this modeled in the game. But the WEP on other aircrafts could be enabled forever. I hope TD will also get this corrected one day.

cooling the combustion process is not the same as cooling the engine

... just saying

Wrong.
Read what I wrote
Sorry...

German testing showed that simply adding water injection at full throttle (without increasing boost) increased power by about four percent while dropping manifold temp by about 35 degrees F.

One should not forget that engine duration is as much important for pilots as performance. In real life, using emergency boost seriously shortened the engine life expectancy and is sometimes even fatal for the next sorties (e.g. engine seizes during the take off in the next flight). That's why real life pilots flew much more carefully than us now. I doubt that pilots will engage MW-50 in every encounters.
In game, there is no system for engine abuse punishment, so everyone will happily engage MW-50 as long as the engine can still endure. It's highly unrealistic. Some compormises would have to be made here. Either one leaves the MW-50 as it should be and relies on gamer's faithfulness of realism, or one porks MW-50. Both solutions are equally reasonable, none is perfect.

Some pilos has a few hours of flight.


If luftawaffe recommended 10 minutes for MW50 , 5 minutes stop, and 10 minutes more for MW50.

In that situation, I empty the tank MW50, especially fighting in proportion 6 to 1 or 10 to 1

Looking at the numbers for manufacturing of the BF 109.

The last years of the war had more BF 109, than pilots to fly them.

I think the pilot's life and win the match, was the point at that time.

Especially if you faced the Mustangs, they were vastly superior.
You will always need the MW50, in that duel.

so, what you mean is this:
**** ze engine, i want to survaif!!

if you think like that (yea, i can do to the engine what ever i want)

then be consequent, and accept that if you respawn your engine might die,
just as you are being attacked by planes that have stars and bars on them.
because you played "greenhorn pilot" and "ignore manual" last time.

you will be shot down either way.
