190's oil leak
« on: March 19, 2018, 12:11:41 PM »
how is it that a 190---D9 A8 F8 can take a oil hit and still fly around for 10 to 15 minutes before engine quits?

So can all P-47's... Hitech explained it a while ago - it's based on quantity of oil and rate of leak and when its depleted then coupled with how fast the engine heats up once the oil is all gone.  It's not all fairydust, twin rainbows, and purple unicorns ya know...  :D

They'll run for a while, the P47 will run a good long time.  When I flew it habitually I took an oil leak as, "Time to head home after I kill the guy I'm engaged with."  It was rarely a jeopardy situation.  With the 190s I feel like if I expect to get home I better go now, or at least soon.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Air cooled radial engines. Not the D9 though. When oil cooled engines get hit they stop sooner.

Well you could say they're all oil cooled....if in doubt just disconnect the oil cooler and see how things go. :)

They may run for 15-20 minute (game time not r/l), but reduced performance would be a plus.

I notice the 109s that get oiled will quit before the 190s do.. Or is my sense of time out of sync with my old age?

Are you saying that the rate of the leak is/can be based on how bad a hit you got and not just the type/model of the plane?

All leaks (including pilot blood) are randomized somewhat.  Different planes have different sized oil reservoirs as well, it seems.

I was doing camera for a skydive and climbed out ahead of the other jumpers.  At the end of the struck I turned my head back toward the door to get the camera on the jumpers and notice the side of the airplane covered in oil.  It was streaming back toward the door with little wavelets on the oil's surface.  I remember thinking I was glad I was jumping instead of flying that one. :)
