You do realize that most WWII aircraft were not capable of that.

And, so far as I know, none of those were fighters.

here's some advise given to me by a wise man.

option 1:  up with the fuel you feel comfortable fighting with.  and bring external tanks to get to the fight.  before you engage drop them.
option 2:  get close to a red con and have them ping you just a little so they can put holes into the fuel tank.  it requires some skill for this maneuver, but you will lose fuel in a few minutes to the level you feel comfortable.

did any prop planes in WW2 have a fuel dump feature?   i've been doing a little offhand digging the last 15 mins or so, and haven't come up with much.   as far as i know, the f9f (please don't quote me, i'm taking a stab here) was one of the first aircraft to incorporate this, but that was a jet and doesn't answer my question....

I seem to recall somebody posting that one of the four engined WWII bombers could do it.

I'D LIKE A FUEL DUMP PLACED FORWARD OF A FUEL-FIRED ONBOARD HEATER AIR INTAKE. THAT WAY I CAN EMBARASS MYSELF BY DUMPING FUEL INTO MY OWN HEATER INTAKE. THE RESULTANT FIRE SHOULD TAKE ME DOWN EVEN MORE QUICKLY THAN SPOUTING SOMETHING REALLY SILLY IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF WAITING CRITICS.

No to fuel dump.  We already have too much game the game stuff going on.  Besides, dumping a bunch of fuel isnt going to help the heavy bomber evade well enough to survive any better.
