Fuel load outs`

[Krusty]

i was not planning on replying in any manor of that.I just wanted to know if you even play the game and what your handle is..thats all.

Wrong. You've already shown what you intended to type:

I'll just assume that,no you dont play the game.you surely couldnt have the time to play when you have almost 23k post,most of whitch are about how you are always right and someone made a false claim.so have a nice day

You ask because you assume the answer already, and are only waiting for a "set up" to allow you (in your mind) to throw that in my face. Or to do the ever-weak "look up the player stats and then say "You don't know"" in response. It's a pattern on the forums and quite easy to see.

I deny you that set up and call you out on it and you play the innocent card.

So no, I'm not going to answer because you are trolling.

And quite obviously so.

[LThunderpocket]

im not playing the innocent card.i guess if you decide that im trying to troll that thats automatically what im doing.where could i even start trolling with that question...im not going to bother explaining anymore cause you have a firewall in your brain that no matter what you think,its 100% correct and thats final.so be it.

Can you two take it to Private Messages or ask Skuzzy for your own forum?

[grizz441]

I like this idea. +1

Private forum for Krusty or fuel?  I'd like to see both 

[grizz441]

I was referring to the OP, but both are good idears.

Omgz thunder learn to space. Please?

[Krusty]

Meh, ignore thunder.

Grizz, why would you want to customize your gas so precisely? Would it be just to get more turn performance, or for some specific reason other than that?

Well in the Ta152 for example, I'd prefer to have more than 75% often, but nowhere near 100%, as the full fuel in the aft kills its performance.  85% would be ideal in certain flights.

Ultimately it is not of extreme importance, but it would be nice if you could say exactly how many gallons of fuel you want in your plane.

[Krusty]

Hrm... I suppose under those conditions I'd take the 50%/DT or 75%/DT, burn off some internal until I had what I wanted then switch to the DT, so that if/when I had to drop the DT prematurely I wasn't heavier than I wanted to be.

I know, not the best solution... Although I think if they ever fix the 152 properly you won't need to worry about fuel state nearly as much.

Well then I have to deal with the 1-2 mph drag penalty that the drop pin induces.  It's not much but I still don't want it.

[Krusty]

I thought there was no drag for them?

Oh well, still 1-2 mph won't make or break a fight especially when you only need to worry about that at top speed.

It has other drawbacks, you most likely already know them (drag/weight, slower climb, slower accel, until you pitch the DT)

I always heard there was no drag for the tracks in planes that already have them installed to the frame, i.g., the american rides, but there is a slight penalty for DT pins on german.  I have never tested this though so it's all speculative.

I believe this is correct, planes like the P-38 have the pylons regardless of whether you load bombs or a drop tank, there isn't a penalty to speed to load a DT then drop it.  Other planes like the P-39, which are clean if no ordnance or DT is loaded do lose a few mph if something is loaded and then dropped due to the shackles.

Is there anywhere where the amounts of fuel (in gallons) is listed for the various tanks in Aces High planes as modeled.

I can't even find total fuel amounts.

It would be nice to have this information handy.
