Have you flown the Spitfire since the patch? It it goes from -4lbs to +6lbs over roughly the first 30% of throttle movement and the remaining 70% stays at +6. It makes it fiddly to set reduced boost, say +4, to avoid blowing the engine and then the slightest leaning on the throttle shoves it back to +6.

Throttle/Power curves don't come into it, its a bug to do with the way the whole throttle range is scaled.

Also the engine runs with throttle closed which it didn't before and to stop on landing you have to cut fuel to stop the engine or it runs and runs because the brakes don't work properly. Dem Blues are getting a few extra kills due to landing accidents.
