The strange thing is that German really used that exploit during the BoB (Manual Pitch for a faster compression of the air and Auto Pitch for the release of a better boost).
Infact English people could recognize a 109 from a Merlin engined airplane simply hearing the sound emetted fomr the engine: the 109's sound wasn't linear, but was a highrev sound followed by a lowrev sound, while the spitfire sound was quite constant.
