It was a reference to in game mechanics, not real life. In real life it does far more and has a much bigger impact than in game.

But to add to your real life info, the anti-freeze component is combustible so an WM injection does change the mixture ratio, even if not to the extend added fuel does...we could go on, but this is about F4U take offs in game.

Fw 190 erhöhte Notleistung does evaporate fuel in the intake manifold. The aircraft used direct fuel injection, and to my knowledge, fuel did not mix with air until it entered the cylinder. In fact, all erhöhte Notleistung did was to release pressure from a control chamber in the Kommandogerät so part of it were tricked into believing that there was less boost in the engine than there actually was. Fuel injection was stepped up to maintain mixture...again we could go on...

Hi,
I tested take off today and with 100% fuel, 120% mixture, settings trims - rudder to the right and elevator up, I was able take off with F4U-1A two times from three attempts. But this carrier is very short for Corsair, that`s true, with bombs and rockets hmm ... problem.

I not sure I follow the " ... erhöhte Notleistung does evaporate fuel in the intake manifold" to " ... direct fuel injection ... " and then back to " ... all erhöhte Notleistung did ... " ... (was to trick the Kommandogerät) into believing that there was less boost (you mean more, right?) ... " implying, maybe, that the cylinder injectors were adding the additional fuel?.

The erhöhte Notleistung system injected fuel through a single dedicated injector into the left air intake upstream of the supercharger at the rate of about 14.5 gallons per hour. Total fuel consumption could be 185 gph (full throttle can be 146 gph). I could ... well ... lol

Yeah, I get the game/reality point. I should try harder to focus on the game part. The game tries really, really hard

Dont know if this was mentioned here, but, on the take-off run on the carrier, and little after, never use ailerons, as any change on the wings will make them stall. We have to compensate only with rudder. After gaining speed we can go back to ailerons.

Frankly, the easy way is to use the catapult. If you happen to be on the first position of a flight, all afore mentioned tactics will fail, even without a heavy load.
