Hello guys,

I noticed in my 2nd online flight, when I engaged an Me-109 at about 20.000ft, that the Messerschmitt was able to put some distance easily between ourselves, when in a climb. I was flying the Spitfire Ia with 100 octane fuel, and I'm not sure I used the correct settings for the engine in combat. Can anyone recommand me some pretty standard RPM/Boost to be used when engaging the enemy, be it in a dogfight, in a dive, or in a climb?
