I need help with variable pitch propellers

Schröder pretty much nailed it.

I use it quite similarily:
Take off and final approach: 100%
Level flight: The same as throttle
Climb: Usually the same as throttle, or 100%.
Dive: 100% up to 450-500 km/h IAS, then to 80%, then to 50%. When speed drops again after the dive I put it back to 100% around 600-650 km/h IAS. I've only really tested this with P-38s, P-47s, P-51s and the mid-to-late-war Navy rides, so no idea how it works on other aircraft.
