Understanding Propellers in CEM

Sad that in COD variable prop pitch ( Spitfire MK1 - 2 stage and Bf 109 E) dont work like it should.

Unfortunately even prop pitch managment in COD is made in wrong way

With gaining speed you should have to adjusted prop pitch from fine pitch to coarse settings.

So in COD variable prop pitch which used 109 and UK fighters dont work correctly.

Strange, it works correctly for me. I start with fine pitch on the 109 and whenever i hit a "speed limit" i set a coarser pitch and it accelerates more. The 110 even starts climbing if i set coarse pitch in level flight.

The trick is to do it in stages, like shiting gears in a car: high RPM to accelerate from low speeds, the lower RPM as you get faster.
If you try to just set coarse pitch right from the start it's like trying to get your car moving from a stop while in 5th gear, it won't work well.
