Thrust vs. Prop Pitch

d) what attitude where you flying

for example i managed to get up to 450/ 460 kph in the me 109 e3... with full throttle (so about 1.3 - 1.35 ata) and prop pitch down to around 10:00 - but the thing is, you need to remember that prop pitch needs to be monitored (like all other things in the aircraft) at most times... especially in combat! I was rather impressed 9or very lucky) to outrun a couple of aircraft on the Repka 3 server just now (before it crashed?)... so yes, any tips of improving the speed above 450 (besides diving), im all ears!

On Syndicate Dedicated last night I achieved 480 kph IAS on the deck over the Channel. I was running at 1.45 ata ("afterburner" in ingame jargon) and 2400 RPM. Rads were about 1/4 open and I had some holes in my control surfaces from British .303's
