I've been trying to figure out CEM both in SP and on the ATAG server and one pilot who helped me on the ATAG server taught me to fly almost entirely with prop pitch to manage RPM and air speed (whether Spitfire or 109). Is that historically accurate? I thought prop pitch was adjusted for climb out and different altitudes but not managed continuously while dogfighting as the primary engine control.


Dogfighting is what you do "after" you drop your bombs and blow something up!
