I wouldn’t say the F9F-2 is fine. It’s slower than a lot of 8.0s because no swept wing. Could even be 7.7.

No we really don’t need more compression. If you think the F9F is bad you should ask for decompression
I don’t think its bad. Its only a slight improvement over the F2H really. But ur right. Moving it down would create more compression.
The F2H-2 is already undertiered if you compare it to the average 7.3
Im pretty sure it was since it did not happen in test drives and only in actual matches. Which is odd behavior for an intended game mechanic
What happened to it then?
it got quietly “fixed” although they never acknowledged it as a bug.

Is it like different fuel and manifold pressures for props? Where technically irl it was possible/did happen but it’s kept out of the game for balance?
For the P-51H, it uses water injection to allow for higher manifold pressure and runs out of water in around 5 minutes. I believe.
Edit: It injects water into the engine to increase density of fuel air mixture and also keeps it cool.
Water-Methanol injection
