Realistic Use of Flank Speed?

Guten Tag, Alle,

I recall in the ancient days of SH2 that one could not run at flank for very long without engine damage resulting -- the LI would warn about overheating, to give you a chance to reduce speed and prevent a breakdown.

Now that I'm chasing a faraway convoy with SH3's unbreakable engines, I'm thinking for the sake of realism, I ought to self-impose a time limit on the use of flank. Does anyone know how many hours is realistic? Four? Eight?

Vielen Dank!
