Do you think Oleg has compromised the prop pitch situation in IL2? I remember him saying in one of the latest BOB threads that you can watch the propellor pitch turn when setting the pitch on the Stuka.
I have just spoken to an 87 year old WWII vet who flew Liberators, Ventura's and Hudsons. They always used 'fine pitch' for take-off and landing (more RPM) and 'course pitch' (paddle effect) for cruising to save fuel. I don't think Oleg has modelled this faithfully in IL2 and this causing all the confusion? (this has probably been discussed many times before)
