For all Bf 109s:
*When engine on/off power cycling in any Bf 109, make sure to set 0% throttle and turn WEP off to prevent propellor drag / propellor braking.
For Bf 109 F-1, Bf 109 F-2 Bf 109 F-4, Bf 109 F-4/trop, Bf 109 G-10, Bf 109 K-4:
*Prop67 can be used for takeoffs to improve acceleration0-200kph. PropAuto should be used after 180-200kph to not overrev engine. Acceleration improvements detailed in aircraft description. If the Bf 109 is not listed at the top, it’s because the effect was negligible. Prop67 is used for a margin of safety to not overrev engine. This is meant to be used for take offs only.
– Bf 109 E-3: Use AEC, there is no auto prop pitch. It is very easy to overrev engine using MEC. Time wear: (-15/-5°C) @ 16min. Fuel: 30min. Engine hp drop: 4900m.
*Engine off with (30sec) in white, then back on, usually resolves (Per color) overheat wear
*Orange overheat = (3min).
*This plane will generally not exceed orange overheat using AEC.
– Bf 109 E-4, Bf 109 E-7: This plane benefits from MEC over AEC overall. Time wear: (-12/-11°C) @ 16min. Fuel: 30min. Engine hp drop: 4000m.
*Turning engine off with (30sec) in white, then back on, usually resolves (Per color) overheat wear.
*Orange overheat = (3min). (2min) after engine on/off power cycle.

AEC mismanages radiator, trying to maintain 96/96 degrees at 100% throttle when limit should be 107/107, creating a lot of drag and needless engine death. When using AEC & WEP the Radiator closes completely causing a heat spike in the engine causing red overheat very quickly. Prop85 is used for mitigating heat and has better WEP performance. Has airbrake. Time wear: (-0/-0°C) @ 16min. Fuel: 30min. Engine hp drop: 5300m.
*MEC chart settings allow Infi-WEP.
*Prop85 allows for Infi-WEP, had better top speed (+0/+4kph) and worse climb rate when using 100%throttle but better climb rate when using WEP (+2.5/-2.2sec) per 1000m climb compared to Prop100. Prop85 should be used with prioritization of WEP use in mind. Prop85 can be used to 4800m Then Prop100 should be used.
