most of the aircraft( some German aircraft change from auto or manual) in IL2 you have no direct control over the propeller pitch. It call a constant speed propeller and it mean the when you adjust the pitch in the game you are setting the rpm you want the engine to run at the the propeller become the governor. this is to take the work load of the pilots also it mean you have the engine run at it best power setting with out over reving.
so the best advise i can give you about propeller setting is to forget them, leave it at 100% as this is were the engine give the most horse power. The only time i will change it is if i get damage to the engine and then i will lower the RPM setting to make it last long before it quits.
If you have ever watch a video and seen pilot rev there motor before taking of what they are checking for is one the magneto and checking to see if the CSP are working properly and not running away.
