If I'm in the same plane and in a hurry to get somewhere, or to get away from someone, should I be at 100% pitch, 110% throttle? Or should I be at lower pitch?

Does the same thing apply for Russian planes and FW190's (in manual mode)? (I'm aware the 109 has a different manual pitch system)

Thanks

If you want good response and acceleration use 100% prop pitch. Anything else is just for cruise, cooling the engine or diving faster and holding your E a bit longer when you level off.
