tl;dr

Heat building up inside the thrusters may be causing Teflon seals to bulge, restricting the flow of propellant.

 
 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Yorktown_(1862)

On the morning of April 17 it became obvious that no assault could be attempted at any point. At this point McClellan acquiesced to conducting "regular approaches" and ordered parallels to be dug for heavy artillery. The siege preparations at Yorktown consisted of 15 batteries with more than 70 heavy guns, including two 200-pounder Parrotts and twelve 100-pounder Parrots, with the rest of the rifled pieces divided between 20-pounder and 30-pounder Parrotts and 4.5-inch (110 mm) Rodman siege rifles. These were augmented by 41 mortars, ranging in size from 8 inches (200 mm) to 13-inch (330 mm) seacoast mortars, which weighed over 10 tons and fired shells weighing 220 pounds. When fired in unison, these batteries would deliver over 7,000 pounds of ordnance onto the enemy positions with each volley.

These are extremely rare events. It would be like wearing a helmet in case your windshield fell out. Having some in the cockpit for emergencies could help, but I don't know if it would be possible to put them on while handling said emergency.

I enabled it yesterday and it seemed to be working fine, but today it wasn't working at all.
