Heya BaldEagl,
my bad, I guess....... I told FryrTuck it was his choice to pick the plane for round 5, and he typed out 25% and the swiffer/sweeper??? tank......... I asked him why and asked if the Spit16 was really that low on fuel when selecting 25% and the fuel burn is set to 2.0....... FryrTuck said yes/typed yes the Spit16 was really pushing it at taking off with 25% only........... I did not bother to launch and check it myself to see what 25% gives ya
so he said we drop the DT as soon as we se each others Icon......... sorry, I did not know we was breaking a rule ( when I should have known.... you think I orta know these rules after being on the committee every time for all 7 tournys )
edit: brain fart just hit me: first, I am not accusing or saying Ace/FryrTuck did anything wrong and I have not watched any films of our dueling rounds...
but follow me here, if both players take off with a DT under the assumption that they drop it at ICON range, does not mean that either player has to be using that fuel in the DT instead of the internal fuel tank......... so if one player is burning up his fuel from the get go from his main tank and just lugging the extra weight until; icon range while the opposite player is burning fuel from his DT and then dropping at icon with still 25% fuel load ...... this could make for off balanced duel setting due to weight differences more so than just "unloading some ammo rounds"......
Best of Luck to the Final Four <S>
