Spitfires must be able to climb higher than enemy bombers, their historical ceiling was 34,000 ft.
Same experience for me last night, very slow to warm up the Rotol Hurricane. I started without a problem with about 10% power, but even when I reached the correct temperatures the engine would splutter and stop at about 20% power.

I managed to start moving only applying a lot more power, and watching the boost gauge in relation to my throttle position, there seems to to be something is wrong, the boost really comes up when I'm about 70-75% power.

Engine on Hurricanes and Spits still cuts out when at idle position.
