to lower your pitch is actually only necesarry if you want realy fly slow (that your comrades or the AI can close formation or you want safe fuel) , than you have to reduce the pitch like the throttle. same % rate or pitch 10% more than the throttle % is a good solution.

I do not agree totally; in German planes, especially in FW190, 2500-2700 rpm and lower PP% makes your plane faster and cooler. And also in combat and turns, lover PP produces higher power and maneuver ability. In Bf109, during dive and climb, manuel PP makes the plane faster and manoeuvrable.
