4.11 overheat and engine damage test results

Unless you exceed max RPM allowed. 10 minutes MW50 limit doesn't mean that some of the other limitations will not kick in first( engine or coolant temperature, revs).

For those who judge people by their nationality I can only say that there is more Germans than Russians in DT, ratio is something like 4:1.

Just tried the Yak9U, it overheats just as fast.
Now reminding the Ta is easy to fly while the 9 is one mean SOB, I think is fair enough.

With every patch this game gets a lot more difficult, in the beginning it's always a pita, but once you adapt you'll love it.
It also requires you to constantly change your style. Trust me, you have no idea how p.o. i was when they introduced the 2sec fuses.
Made me switch to BK, today I'm an export on it. Guess I should say; thank you TD.

You what ?

Say again, you what?

Not even to dive down on a fighter below you, or to escape a Spit who might have come into the theater above you ?

I know this does not happen much with the AI of the QMB. Are you aware of how BnZ planes are to be used ?

Believe it or don't WD, it's actually faster to dive with retarded throttle and p-pitch.

Gents, I am the guy who published a well read (and correct article) about the use of PP in IL2. Yes, I know that, thank you, but I just wanted the simplest test possible, and for most situations, the TA does better on auto than manual prop pitch.

And it does not negate my main point,

THE OVERHEAT MODEL IN 4.11 IS MESSED UP, .... BADLY

Sure, KG26 Alpha, no problem. However, if I could just put the source code out, you could see the very large way in which the TA 152 has been neutered.

the following is wrong. please disregard. there was an error in the manual, it confuses the oil and coolant gauges...





ok, i had a look at the track and im starting to see what you mean.

the overheat message is triggerded by the oil temperature being too hot, the coolant is fine.

for most planes you can reduce this problem by lowering the revs, but the 190 d9 and ta152 seem to have some major problems here.

you have to take the engine off auto prop pitch and fly with prop pitch set to zero! this seems dumb.
