Doesn't really matter with 4.11 coming out this morning as its all changed.

However I am not sure what the problerm is with the 109G6 under the old patches. You get several minutes before overheat warning and then 5 or 6 more minutes with overheat flashing before any damage is done. Basically you can fly the G6 for almost 10 minutes before any damage occurs. 10 minutes is a long time online.

If after almost 10 minutes of combat you need more time then you dive, open the rads, cut throttle and let the overheat warning go out (takes maybe 10 seconds) and then you get another 5 or 6 minutes of full throttle.

Overheat is only a problem in the G6 if you panic like a big girls blouse the instant the warning flashes up.
