Sure, but unless the aircraft has a constant speed prop the max allowable RPM does not correspond to setting the pitch controls full forward and keeping them there.
For example, a 109 with the pitch set at the 11:30 or 12:00 (full fine) position will easily go above maximum RPM in case of a power on dive at somewhat high speeds
I guess it's little things like that, subtle but important details, which confuse most people along with the habits carried over from the previous IL2 series.
