Historically, MW50 can be used continuously for 10 mins. After that, the engine needs to rest for at least 5 mins before enabling MW50 boost again. But in 4.11, the engine will overheat about 53 seconds after enabling MW50. Well within 3 minutes, the engine will be cooked up.
Was it a cold or hot engine? Was it level flight, steep or moderate climb? I just tried out the Bf 109 G-10, default armament but only 60% fuel load, radiator fully open. I wanted to use the MW50 to take off and climb. The overheat message popped up roughly 2min 30 seconds after setting throttle to 110%, which I did shortly after the plane started to move. I didn't climb optimally, but I made it to about 3200m altitude.
