But regarding the engine management (at lest in game), in a very steep dive just like the ones refered here, you only have to profit by using manual prop-pitch.

This makes sense too, and thanks for the advice about pre-setting the pitch before switching to manual.

I still don't get why the D9 1945's engine can be so easily wrecked while the D9 1944 or the Ta 152 H will only overheat in a steep dive. If that's the way it was and it's an accurate feature then great, it's more interesting and we can take steps to avoid the problem. Otherwise it might be a bug. I'll try comparing the rpm in a dive in a D9 44 and a D9 45 later today.
