Plz eplain Supercharger in Spits'n hurries to me.

Are there any? No stages? Auto? How do they work? Anything I have to think about or...?

all flyable planes , except thevtigermoth, in game have sperchargers.
The Merlin III has a single stage, single speed one. so the pilot has nothing to care about it.....

In RAF fighters you have a boost gauge, this is your blower, you have a little white marker on the gauge, this is your max safe prolonged use boost marker, you may exceed this boost but not for long periods, saying that iv never killed an engine by overboosting it, but mostly by overheating and overreving engines.

[JG53Frankyboy]

actually a supercharger is made that an engine can mantain these max boost settings at heights above sealevel (to generalize it )
the maximum height the supercharger able to do so is called full throttle height (FTH) . above this height the boost and poeroutput of the engine drops

Basically its getting more air into the engine!

I use it as a boost to take off and when i fly at high altitudes

Thanks boys.

In IL-2 and PF the supercharger was two-stage and manual so was a bit confused when I read that the British fighters had one and I couldn't find a switch for it.

Some of you talk about boost when talking supercharger. Do you mean that the supercharger only kicks in when Boost Cut-Out is ON?
