I-185M-82A
Crimea, Noon
1000 meters
Rads Closed
Throttle 100% (no 110%)
Forzah (Boost) On
Overheat at 1:31
Engine inoperable at 2:51

Ta152H-1
Crimea, Noon
1000 meters

Engine damage at 6:50
Engine inoperable at 10:11

I'm seeing a bit of a different picture here. It was the Ta152 that went on and on and on while the Spitfire +25 died after only a couple of minutes. I should mention that this would constitute an extreme example. Full throttle with boost on and using default radiator settings. Twice that was auto and once that was closed. I imagine the I-185 might last a bit longer in this test if I opened the radiators.

EDIT: I also redid the test on the Spitfire (same model)... it was 3:42 seconds before the engine died completely.

Icefire, will check it objectively in a bit. I am not seeing this in combat though. In 4.10.1, the TA was something to be feared, now it is an overheating mess that is good for one pass, maybe two and then you must exit or engine smoke pours out.

Jumowhatever - Not the place to make your inaccurate attacks. If you know anything about me, it is that I ran a full real duel server for 18 months on HL and now run it on Xfire for IL2 1946 (4.10.1), LOMAC FC2 and ROF. Sometimes though bc I live on the West Coast and can only fly at night, there is little to no one in HL (usually about 20 folks), which means the only populated US server is RCAF (which is open pit and filled with 185 M-71s and Spit 25lbs), and the only populated closed pit server is Viril Duel server (Russia) (usually filled with La7s and 185 M-71s with a few Bf 109s thrown in). Check facts before posting hate.

I just see you complaining, while ignoring the results of others, which are totally contrary to your complaining. In fact, its quite clear, that you are doing something wrong. Maybe you are not even willing to do it right? Thus, as about me, you don't get heard.
