Bug 174 on 12lbs boost. Review please.

It seems to me that the historically available boost/overboost capabilities should be modelled for all aircraft whether their use in any particular circumstance was authorised or not. Any pilot having the need to save his backside would use whatever was available to him, authorised or not, and I can't see Dowding, Park, Molders, Galland or anyone else ripping into a pilot for damaging his engine to save his life.

CEM should be used to damage the engine if the prescribed time limits, or perhaps an increased % of the time limits like 125%, were exceeded as that is the only way we have of bringing some kind of limitation to its use and representing engine damage. CEM already does this to Merlin engines if max boost and rpm are maintained for too long although I haven't tested what those limits are.
