Spitfire Slipper Tanks

[Stryker]

They are displayed as 30 gallon but are actually 36 gallon

not really a big issue.. i just know it was correctly displayed in v2.13 so i figured i'd mention it

Just went to test it, and there were 3 contradicting parts.
  Test:  All Spits/Seafire have a reported Slipper tank of 30 gallons in the hangar.

Seafire: Report as 37 Gallons in the Secondary Weapon select, and when dropped loses 36 Gallons of Fuel.
Spitfire Mrk IX: Reports as the same.
Spitfire Mrk XIII: Reports as the same.

I stopped there, but would guess the Mrk XIV and Mrk XVI report the same.

Test Pics:

In the Hangar SeaFire:


Showing The 37 gallons in Secondary Mrk IX: (Same as Seafire and Mrk XIII)


Showing after the drop Mrk IX:  185 Gallons - 149 = 36  (138-102 for SeaFire and Spit Mrk IX)






Hope this helps some.

I forgot to convert the hangar label from imperial gallons to U.S. gallons.  30 Imp gallons = 36 U.S. gallons.

Really mess them up and make it litres...

30 Imp gallons = 36 U.S. gallons.

wow i didnt know that, like imperial measurements arent confusing enough as it is. do you have 8 pints in a gallon like we do? how about lbs, are they the same?

Question:  I never pay attention to DTs, but is it suppose to read 37 even though it holds 36?  I never pay attention to if it's counting gallons or something else, just curious.

Because the weapon counter is not set to round down so any decimal will be rounded up to the next integer.  Since 30 Imp gallons is actually 36.0285126 U.S. Gallons and I was anal enough to input 36.03, it initially shows up as 37 in the ammo counter before almost instantly getting burned down to 36 when the engine is running.

Ah, thanks Pyro, was just curious.

ok I understand why metric is a good idea now
