P47N fuelburn and landtorps
« on: September 17, 2005, 04:31:11 PM »
FYI

About 45 mins ago, in the MA, Baltic map, I noticed that my P47N burned less fuel (only tested low level) on WEP than off: about 552 GPH with WEP and 580 GPH off WEP. Those numbers seemed off to me.

Some minutes after that I took a screenie showing torps running on land (at the port, or was it GV field... just west of the A9/A10 island on the Baltic map.

yup, the water injection delays the firing of the fuel, creating more power, it also reduces the need for as much fuel...somehow....
