Correct. I discovered this as well when it was released and I just tested it again. Multiplier at 6000 (each millisec a minute) and endurance is unchanged.
Now. Something else I discovered. The Me163's endurance is affected by SPEED!
I just did a number of tests with the following results:
0K Altitude, 1 mph, Endurance 5:15
0K Altitude, 525 mph IAS/TAS, Endurance 7:58
Default climb, 370 mph IAS, Endurance 8:24 (TAS starts at 370, ends at about 600 mph)
Theoretically 600 mph TAS, Endurance 10:00
When doing the default climb it is easy to see on the fuel indicator that the usage is lower when TAS is high. In the test with default climb, the TAS was about 600 mph the last 1/4 of the tank, and each 1/8 took were used in about 75 sec, so I just multiplied that with 8 to get a theoretically endurance, if the 163 was going 600mph non-stop.
