MIXTURE IRL HURRICANE
Hurricane Mixture is a 2 position thing its not incremental you cant just lean incrementally looking for the RPM drop. Its either RICH (Fully back) or LEAN (fully forward)
Think of these 2 settings as AUTO RICH or AUTO LEAN. So in either case the system will automatically lean out the mixture as altitude increases following either a RICH or a LEAN schedule depending on where the lever is placed. You would use RICH for max power and LEAN for cruising with associated Boost limitations. In addition the throttle and mixture levers are arranged such that pulling the throttle back to idle will also pull the Mixture control BACK to RICH.The Spitfires had exactly the same system.
OPERATION IN COD
The Lever positions are correctly Labelled BACK for RICH and FORWARD for LEAN.
However Its bugged in COD in that the ACTUAL effect on your engine is reversed.
So it needs to be fixed.
G50 and other Italian fighters
The Italian throttle system historically was BACK for more power and forward for less
