Found this, not sure if it has been posted before. If it has, please delete thread. If not, I think there is some interesting and relevant information to be found:

From the article:
F/Lt Robert F. Boyd, flying with No. 602 out of Westhampnett, wrote an interesting statement in his combat report for 18 August 1940 regarding emergency boost :
I then dived for sea level 10 miles from Coast, saw five aircraft I thought were Hurricanes and climbed to them for protection. They proved to be Me 109's which chased me back to coast, one continuing chase after others had left me: on seeing this I went into a turn, got onto its tail closed to 70 yards and fired 2 second burst. I saw this A/C hit the sea in flames... My Spitfire easily outdistanced Me 109's at 10 lbs boost 2800 r.p.m.
That's not going to happen in CloD, yet.
