No worries Dutch. The Storm of War server is up to TF301 yes. Regarding the BCC, the Hurricane is almost the same to operate as the Spitfire, same engine and fuel.
Quite simply the merlin could only achieve 6.25lbs boost @SL to the full throttle height on 87 octane fuel. With 100 octane it could manage 17lbs @SL, but this knackered the engine fast so it was restricted firstly by a Boost cutout control (BCC) plus other modification. This limited the normal full throttle to 6.25lbs unless you pulled the BCC and went full power, and got 12lbs boost. Since boost falls with height this is therefore only achievable to the FTH (Full throttle height) which is documented, can't remember off hand. The point is that it's useful below 15kft or so and for hard climbs. It does strain the enjoy though so keep the temps down.
We can teach you all this mate.
