Optimal Climb Speed for Italian Props
By subanz
Climbing at the specified Indicated Air Speed will allow you to reach 6 kilometers in the least amount of time.

Make sure to enable indicated air speed in the options before using information in this guide.

The chart contains most propeller airplanes.

For those of you who use Manual Engine Controls:
  • Set all available radiator flaps to 100% (open).
  • Set mixture to rich as appropriate.
  • Set propeller pitch to 100%.
  • Adjust mixture accordingly throughout flight to maintain maximum engine RPM and optimal horsepower, subject to altitude.
  • Change supercharger gears at recorded horsepower output/elevation.

Refer to these for individual airplane quirks.

* It is not possible to climb to 4000m from SL on WEP without overheating the engine.
** Recommend using auto prop pitch to avoid over revving the engine. Otherwise, there is no prop governor to prevent over revving.

Based on chart made by The_Kiwi and information from data sheets available on War Thunder forums.

Finally got off my lazy ass and updated Italy with data from the War Thunder forums.
