Just to update the info a touch:
Instead of testing, I've been flying for fun over the last few days and found an even simpler solution for the 100oct settings.
Before take-off, again set rad at 50% and leave it there. Mixture lever fully back. Take-off at 3000rpm, gear up, level off and allow airspeed to build to 185mph. Drop to +3 boost, lower revs to 2400 and forget them. Leave them there.
Throttle back up to +6 boost. By now you'll be doing about 200mph on the flat. Turn towards the sun and climb (never climb away from the sun, you never know who's watching). You'll get a climb rate of initially over 3000fpm dropping to 2500fpm as speed drops to 185mph. Trim for climb at this speed.
As you hit around 12,000ft you'll see temps start to rise. Throttle back to +5 boost, or level off a bit to increase airspeed. This will keep things cool. Twiddle mixture a bit to ensure blue flame.
Go jerry hunting.
Above 14,000ft, emergency boost doesn't give any real benefits, so leaving engine at these +5 to +6/2400/mixture back settings will give good performance against 109s. BUT!! If they dive away (as they tend to), punch the emergency boost, firewall it and set mixture full forward, as it certainly does work the lower you go.
With the +11boost/2400rpm/mixture forward/50% rad settings the 109s will get the shock of their lives. Just don't be tempted to alter either pitch or rad settings.
This doesn't mean that the devs don't need to change some things, but we shall see.
Stick to these golden rules and the current 100oct is very competitive.
