IIRC, virtually all the Spits engaged in BOB had variable pitch props fitted, Geoffrey Wellum makes a point in his autobiography that he set his Spitty PP to 2650 rpm for combat as he considered it handled better! One thing's for sure, CoD is going to require 'up close and personal' before pressing the Spitty/Hurri trigger.......me thinks that maybe 'probables' should be awarded as opposed to just 'definite kills'........
