Fuel n DTs

[whels]

need to make it where you need to carry atleast 75% internal fuel before DTs
can be carried.  stop the upping with 25% internal, with DTs.


Bombers need to be limited to no less then 50%fuel on takeoff, id like to see 75%
but id settle for 50.

Sounds nice. I'm always at 75% for a minimum of fuel. Never know when you might get a fuel leak. P-51, Jug... etc. Works great for me.

Lancs only need 25%,50% tops

i dont care what they need. they should be forced to use fuel loads closer to RL.
the fuel burn multiplier in arenas dont affect buffs like it should.

do u know how much money fuel costs

I always take 100% and usually no DT's, but considering what I fly fuel leaks are common and I get a nice 40 some min with 100%.

Whels buffs are already becoming more and more rare(it seems to me) I think this might make it even more rare

Ask any bomber pilot from WWII just how often they went up with less than %100 fuel. 

This game allows for some serious inaccuracies AND those in turn allow for some serious abuses in aircarft use.  A heavy bomber with %75+ fuel is in no way shapw for form going to dive bomb.  Th only thing that would see a drop in usage is the Stuka-Lancs and Stuka B17/24.

I too think that bombers should be required to take at least %50 fuel and fighters %75 for the useage of DT.  I know tons of guys take DT's with %25 fuel for their fighters.  That is as about as accurate is Obama's "change" message.

HTC should force fighters to load 100% of fuel.

But we cannot dump fuel, another inaccuracy.  If they also added that feature, I would agree with this one.

What exactly would have stopped a pilot taking 25% fuel and DT's IRL?
If the crew chief was instructed for tactical reasons to load the aircraft in such a fashion then that exactly how they would have lifted off.

I never take off bombers with less then 75% fuel. First off my bomber runs typically last an hour or more. 2nd leaving fuel at the base doesnt really enhance bomber performance like it does with fighters. Not when you fly bombers like, well, bombers. And many times Ive been able to save my bacon, with a fuel leak, be having so much fuel that Im able to touchdown before I leak it all out.

AH should just write the code that level bombers cant release bombs when in a dive angle. That would put an end to the Lanc stuka lunacy.

As your second sentence says...this is a game.  It's not meant to be a recreation of real-life WWII battles.  It's a game to let people fly WWII-era airplanes.  Sure, there are ways to "game the game", and there will always be people that finds ways to exploit certain limitations/loopholes in the game.

Personally, I don't care how someone loads their plane.  They can fly whatever they want, and however the game lets them...I do.

It's a game. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you'll start to enjoy it more.  Who cares how much fuel someone takes?  According to their "mission plan", they're taking the fuel configuration that they see fit to complete their sortie.  What's wrong with that?  So what if it isn't 100% historically accurate according to what you consider to be "historically accurate"?  This isn't a historical recreation of WWII anyway.
