I'll give an ultimate example-US Navy

Fighters routinely catapult off the ship in "cold" power (non-afterburning) to save engines, better control, the F-14 had better stagnation margins. What is the problem? In fact, in the 14, pilots wanted to use cold power, due to engine stalls ingesting steam.
