Will the AI in SOW steal your kills??

As for performance, it helps to know that 100% power and 100% prop pitch does not translate to highest speed. In a dive, you will go much faster by reducing RPMs and closing cowl flaps if open. Don't forget to set the supercharger and mixture for the proper altitude as well.

I don't understand the performance thing you mentioned, unless you're talking about what I said about the friendly planes going faster at key times. I already maximize my speed by doing what you said. If I hadn't got into my higher supercharger stage, for example, I would not have gotten that I-16 up that high. It just seems the AI cheat by getting some extra acceleration when they want it. Aside from the speed boost we all know about due to them not overheating. The get a little something extra that you ain't got.

BTW, I don't shoot my own teammates like that very often, just in truly exasperating cases!!
