109 prop pitch (rpm) and the supercharger

[KG26_Alpha]

Hmmmmm

Seems to remind me of something from old....

Is this the nerfing that the Bf109 got in IL2 for using prop pitch + throttle to climb faster ?

IIRC they stopped the use of switching PP on off quickly in a patch because pilots were climbing faster using this technique.

I could be wrong of course.

That was an much older exploit in Il-2, some 2.xx version iirc. People did macros for joysticks to swich from auto to manual very fast to climb like a rocket, they fixed it in some patch but the function od manual PP stayed in the game but there was no point of doing that anymore. That was game design flaw exploited by certain type of players, this here is legit technique used by WWII pilots and possible on actual aicraft.

I saw the topic heading and was hoping to learn something. Certianlly an interesting read ... all 15 pages.

I learn't a bit of history. A bit more about piloting skills on how to manipulate the engine to get max performance. I finally know what the PP exploit hooplah was all about back in the day ... and that Crummp certianlly has a following where ever he posts.

Dear Lord I love this place
