Prop pitch in IL-2
Ok can someone explain this to me in easy terms.
I don't seem to be able to make any difference to the speed of my plane using prop pithc excpet to go slower so I have 100% all the time |

The prop pitch can make pretty big difference on dive, cruise & climb speeds if one knows how to use it. Then again, it is different for all the planes, so you really need to either go by trial & error or study the plane via documents & flight manuals.
Here's the prop pitches for the 190 http://mission4today.com/index.php?n...p=show&kid=308 EDIT: The common use I've seen is <80% in dive, >80% in climb. |

I saw that and it makes little sense.
Basically flying straight and level at 1000 metres as an average if you are wanting max speed would 100% prop pitch be just fine. If you are dog fighting then one doesn't have time to muck about. |
