Is this the nerfing that the Bf109 got in IL2 for using prop pitch + throttle to climb faster ?

IIRC they stopped the use of switching PP on off quickly in a patch because pilots were climbing faster using this technique.

I could be wrong of course.

That was an much older exploit in Il-2, some 2.xx version iirc. People did macros for joysticks to swich from auto to manual very fast to climb like a rocket, they fixed it in some patch but the function od manual PP stayed in the game but there was no point of doing that anymore. That was game design flaw exploited by certain type of players, this here is legit technique used by WWII pilots and possible on actual aicraft.
