Feelings about Fw190...
I start up engine, drop flaps 20 degrees, roll up, wear huge smile as I notice it doesn't bounce or be so sensitive as it were.
I set climb speed to 160, take a look on gauges, have quick thought that theres something wrong with climbing speed, without caring too much of it (always climb slow)
Around 19,000ft I take a look at fuel gauge at the bottom of instrument panel, notice something horrible and scream, it shows around 25% fuel left in drop tank.
I begun wondering, go check do I still have all tanks, notice that LW/RW have changed into FWD/AFT, come to think if those has same problems as external tank.
I cut the speed to 30 MAN, like usually when I cruise. Watched speed gauge drop to below 250 TAS, begun wondering, because it's been always more than 250 TAS with 30 MAN at 19k.
(more closer to 280-290mph)
In V.42 I would have found myself from 25,000ft or so, when I would had looked fuel gauge and it would had shown 25% for external.
WHAT has happend to my dear Fw190s fuels, or did someone decrease its climbing from its already SLOW climb to SLOWER climb? (or do we now have AUX tank taking boosters slot?)
Gee.. this fuel usage modifier is getting to be a pain in the ass, if its only usage is to beef up P-51s super big tanks which are made to be even bigger than normal fighters tank needs to be.
If Spitfires, La-5s, 109s, 190s fuel tanks are made to be just that big that they can climb, fight, climb, fight, go home, why do they have to be punished with fuel usage multipliers, which makes climbing be like hell for them when compares to P-51 in AH.
P-51 maybe has had fuel to run every plane out of their fuels, but I doubt that other planes had too low fuels to climb twice to 30,000ft...
Maybe cutting range with fuel multiplier is nice feature, but when it cuts altitude, thats something ridicilous.
Just because of little fuel multipliers I've quit flying La-5, which I did like in the past.
Also I haven't been flying C.205 just because its up and down plane. Barely gets to another field and do couple rounds, then has to go home, no joy!
Now I don't seem to have enough fuel to use all ammo even nearly, if I would kill all the time.
-> Could we get rid of fuel multiplier just for a week.. PLEASE! <-
Ps. don't tell me I didn't warn about whines.
