This is quite simple, grab your car/van/pickup/bike, go for a ride get the normal operation temps for the engine (in our vehicles we hava a thermostat) then when you are around 70º (normal operation temps) do a small pierce in the rad, as soon as the water pupms starts to move the water, the piecing will start to spit out the water with realy high presure, when the level of water is bellow the piercing you will see steam and depends the high of the piercing is the time before overheating you have, isn't much at all 30-40 minutes (this happens cause in a closed radiator system the water liquifides again in the radiator, when you have a piercing after losing it in liquid form you will start to lose the remanent as gas), now take this example to a plane that normal operation temps are around 80-86º just 20-14º below the boiling point in cruise mode (Combat mode 10-5º) as soon as you piercing the rad you will have almost no time before overheat due to what i describe above, and it happens to me driving in the country road when you go at top cruise speed, and there's almost no time to realize that you are going to blow the engine, if not pay atention on the temp gauge, so what we have now in game isn't properly modelled, should be revised by the devs and redone to real values
