custom fuel loadout

[Raga]

I would like to request the ability to customize fuel load out. for example in the spitfire, be able to fill up the bottom tank without any fuel in the top tank. or 75% top and 25% bottom. also allow for a player to set an order for fuel tank usage when flying in automatic fuel tank select mode. to use the spitfire for example again, allow for the top tank to burn first before switching to the bottom tank. right now we have to manually do that, the computer will only burn the bottom tank first. HiTech could create a new interface like the convergence setting zone, a fuel loading zone, where this could be easily done. in fact this could be done to customize ordnance as well. i think this would enhance the game by making it more convenient as well as giving the planes a more customized feel.

let me know what you think!

I think this would be a neat feature.

Historical accuracy be damned.

Maybe fuel tanks should drain in the matter they were designed to do so.

We need more research.

I like this idea!

It would also be nice to have something similar for GVs.

Me and my squaddies we're just talking about this the other day for the loadout on GVs.
Would be nice when attacking a V-Base by youself and you have to take the ack down.
You could bring say 5 HEs to take it down and the rest APs.

Fuel and ammo load-outs are dictated by historical accuracy, they way they should be. The idea that we can even get drop-tanks without take 100% is odd in itself but is more of a compromise I'd imagine.

Fuel loadouts are not dictated by historical accuracy, they're simply 25% increments of full load with tank loading based on optimal CoG effects.

Really? Could of swore I read somewhere on the forums that they were a while back. Go figure.

 I like the idea of custom fuel loadout but not in percentages,I'd rather see it so you could load fuel by weight or gallonage! As for tank selection,well I have my tanks cycle map to a single key {F instead of shift F} but any key would work.That make cycling through the tanks a breeze!!

   

 PS: I seldom use this feature as just like in RL I've run too many tanks dry at the most inconvient times.
