Spool time on the engines were a bitch at low rpm.

T-37 is like that too - at low RPM a spoiler comes out on the wing, forcing you run at a higher thrust setting so you can have a faster throttle response.

Nothing worse than slamming the throttle forward and waiting for the engine to spool up. That will add grey hairs mighty fast.
 
Despite inflicting heavy losses on the Soviets, and rebuffing all enemy attacks, the Soviets succeeded in outflanking the corps. On 15 February, Hausser ignored Hitler's orders to hold the city at all costs and ordered the SS-Panzer-Korps to abandon the city and withdraw towards Krasnograd. Over the next week, the SS-Panzer-Korps annihilated Mobile Group Popov in a series of brilliant and hard fought battles. The LSSAH was a major participant in these battles, destroying several Soviet divisions and inflicting heavy losses.

only 2 out of 40 was effectively firing his weapon
half the other were firing wildly up in the air etc.
the other half hugging the dirt praying to mom etc
