Couple of issues : BF109 Loadouts and 109E4 lacking power

[dirtbag]

Hi All, pretty new to the IL2 front, like the game and managed finally to win some MP PVP dogfights.

I have tried customising the BF109 load outs, and managed to get a good mix. But when playing I sometimes (if not all the time now) spawn with no ammo or just wing ammo. I have reverted back to default and get the same issue, so going into a fight is pointless.

2ndly, I like the 109's with manual prop pitch so that I can tune it better. With the E4 it appears automatic, but when flying in a dogfight it seems to lack the power ?

Thanks for looking DB
