It was a reference to in game mechanics, not real life. In real life it does far more and has a much bigger impact than in game.

But to add to your real life info, the anti-freeze component is combustible so an WM injection does change the mixture ratio, even if not to the extend added fuel does...we could go on, but this is about F4U take offs in game.

Fw 190 erhöhte Notleistung does evaporate fuel in the intake manifold. The aircraft used direct fuel injection, and to my knowledge, fuel did not mix with air until it entered the cylinder. In fact, all erhöhte Notleistung did was to release pressure from a control chamber in the Kommandogerät so part of it were tricked into believing that there was less boost in the engine than there actually was. Fuel injection was stepped up to maintain mixture...again we could go on...
