When you include the phrase “use at high speeds could cause the engine to erupt into flames” without a single shred of evidence I immediately disregard every single facet of correct or partially correct information you say. I then immediately tag any and all future posts as ignorant at best and downright spewing garbage at worse.

The reason the engines were governed was due to the lack of repair materials/parts to replace worn out parts from overuse resulting in breakdowns not because its going to spontaneously combust into a fireball.

Governing a engine extends service life its not to prevent fires.

The true reason for governed engines was to extent the service life of transmissions. Panthers and Tiger II alike. That was the main issue with these tanks.Burning engines not really, more of a urban myth.

But in that case a more powerful engine would have been completely useless, as the transmission wouldn’t be able to handle it.

But that wasn’t the case. As there were plans to adopt more powerful engines as soon as they became available.

The 6.7 punshier really didnt get put in its place, its winrates just suffer due to not being able to get to the points even slower… and unfortunately the overly slow jagdtiger caught a stray, it along with the Ferdinand could stand to get a reduction when facing 7.0 HEAT slingers…

The Jagdtiger? The Tiger 2 sure, the Jagdtiger?

The JT was just an innocent bystander, we all knew what needed neutering.
