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.

No matter what other limitations might be, engines equipped with MW50 should not be damaged within 10 minutes. But try yourself in game, every engine with MW50 enabled will be damaged within 5 minutes, no matter how you fly.

Once again, you seem to be conveniently disregarding that track I posted. I went 10 minutes with MW50 and full WEP without any ill effects.

Also, MW50 can be engaged without having to go to maximum boost. I'm not sure that the manuals factor in slow turning and apex-climbs and hammerheads at 110% power. Remember, they say "maximum" of 10 minutes (assuming everything else with the plane is in tip-top shape), not "at least" 10 minutes.
