Default A couple of questions regarding the StuKa engine management

Hi all,

I am playing around with the StuKa, and have actually managed to get it into the air and I can do a proper diving attack as well. However, I seem to have some trouble getting the most out of its engine. At start-up I wait for the temps to rise to above 40 degrees for both oil and water. During flight I keep them both at about 60-80 degrees.

Now, the trouble is that at full throttle I do not manage to keep up with my Staffel-mates. It is not that they are fast, but I don't get to go much above 220 kmph. With coarse prop pitch I can sneak up on 250 kmph in level flight, wihch is obviously inadequate. I have been looking for some sort of boost button (ATA) but haven't found it. I am guessing that I'm not supposed to use WEP, but am I wrong? The WEP can only be turned on and off, btw.

Also, I seem to have a mild shaking all the while I fly. Is the Stuka supposed to do that, or can it purr along as well as the other German planes?

So, basically, how do I get more power out of the engine?

BTW, didn't the Ju-87 have wheelbrakes? I cannot seem to brake, no matter how hard I step on my rudder pedals...
