With planes that I can use manual prop pitch, I set it at 100% rpm and generally I can run at very low speed with 30% to 35% power. With P-40B it's about 33% right near stall which lets me run a bit faster while slowly descending.
Low power and high rpm has a kind of braking effect on higher speed, you can find a power setting and buzz along then lower yourself by backing off the power just a bit. But get real close to ground over a landing strip in IL2 and you get ground effect modeled (IL2 ground effect is/was only over landing strips) where you'd better be cutting power to land.

For fast speed landings, don't give it much flaps or you'll bounce badly.

Generally I like to touch down at the speed I took off or slightly less just to minimize the hops.

Once I'm down either way, the flaps come up to cut lift and help me stay landed. When I slow down more, 160-170kph or less, I can drop them for the drag.
