Major issues with the Ju-87. Help?

[ioh_]

Not sure what engine controls I'm messing up here, but I can't maintain level flight for more than a few minutes without pushing my engine to the limit. Any longer, I get major engine failure. If I set the throttle too low, I start to dump altitude and can't maintain my approach. What am I doing wrong here? Anyone else have these issues?

The binds you need for this plane during flight are:

• Throttle
• RPM
• Radiators

 

For climb I use 85% throttle and 85% RPM with full radiators ( I think you can go 90% throttle and still stay in climb mode)

For continuous I use 76% throttle and 76% RPM and close the radiators some to get a good reading for the temperatures. In all honestly though, I'll leave them at 100% until I need the speed, but speed isn't really going to save you in this plane anyway. Plus I'm not so sure radiators in this plane affect speed that much.

 

These probably don't match well with the recommended RPM and Manifold Pressure given for each mode in the specifications tab, but they work and I haven't bothered changing it.

 

Make sure you're not taking full fuel. Most multiplayer flights wont need more than 50% and if you're taking a heavy bomb load, lowering your fuel as much as possible is important.

Scojos info is probably fine, but it's also not hard to match the manifold and RPM specs for continuous and climb mode as found on the wiki: https://il2sturmovik.gamepedia.com/Ju_87_D-3

I guess it was the RPM then? I had it at 50% throttle and was still in emergency mode or something redic. I'll go ahead and try again with the throttle / rpm matched. Radiators likely had something else to do with it. Thanks.

That was absolutely it. Thank you!

No problem. Glad I could help.

 

Just in case, this post I made for someone else might help you as well.
