Prop pitch in combat?

This is an interesting article here

Both systems existed already in 1939. The "Dash" switch was abandoned for its impracticality in favour of the throttle switch, which remained there till the last variant.

The Clod model of the "dash switch" is somewhat inaccurate, as the real one could be locked in the bottom position for feathering the prop.

This was in the game release while using an axis control for the pitch, and it worked just fine, it was removed for some reason...In the sense that once you select that position it is the lever then in the down"position and imagined locked/and is feathering, until you select a different position which then once selected, the lever would then be in the middle/neutral position...sadly gone now, another victim of a patch. EDIT: I just tried using the 0% pitch key and that works fine too in the older game, the feather key has never worked in game, but was not really needed, and not all aircraft does the pitch work properly.
