I think that for many, if not most, of the aircraft in Il2 there is very limited, or no, mixture control, even with complex engine management.
Try it with the Buffalo or one of the Russian planes- these have full mixture control. Planes like the Spitfire or the P 51 do not. Many others such as the US Navy Fighters only have the option to use full rich (110%) or auto rich (100%). You cannot for example "lean out" the engine on the F4U to shut it down.

Interesting subject and I hope you sort things out Aussie Pilot.

Murph, yes on the F4U (120%, then after launch back to 100%) but the SBD and B-17s can fully adjust mixture.

Have'nt experimented with others.





B-17s



Good luck !
