Opinions on engines lasting so long with broken cooling systems?

If my rad gets hit in the spit i land as quick as poss out of principle, but will see how long it will lasts without power loss next time as i dont recall there being any previously. Prob means they not modelled propetly on either plane

I had tested this a few patches ago. The way it it was modeled is that once the leak stops (hence, the cooling system is empty of coolant fluid), the engine would overheat after a minute or so.

I tested this on the 110 though, so i don't know how it works in other aircraft and with the current patch.
