Nice post Snapper.
Uh-oh. We're talking 'tactics'. Any minute now, someone'll jump in and say 'told you so'.
Unfortunately, it's not just tactics. There is strong relationship between lowering airspeed and overheating in the RAF planes which doesn't seem to exist in the LW planes. Plus the RAF radiators cause massive drag when opened beyond 50%.
The only reason we can't follow the 109s upwards is due to overheating when using higher performance engine settings as airspeed decreases.
It's currently an unfair advantage to the 109s. Simple as that.
We can try to use tactics to overcome this engine modelling problem, but we can't solve it. Only the developers can do that.
One thing in Snapper's post I'd differ with though, is that BCO is very useable below 10,000 with 2400rpm and 50% rad, mixture forward. It can be used as in the video. But you need to make sure of the airspeed. I can't emphasize this enough. You need the airspeed to use the additional power. Don't use BCO to speed your aircraft up from low airspeed. Get the airspeed up first, then punch the emergency boost for more speed. If you try to accelerate from low speed using BCO, you will blow up.
Oh, and you'll run out of petrol very quickly using +11 boost, as I found out last night to my cost!!
