"but those that need the least amount of fuel "

Don't people already complain about the Spits and LA7's being too common?

When ur coffee cup is filled to 100% and u add a little drop coffee cup then u have more than 100% (regarding the main coffee cup) right?

Cool thread

CCVI brings up some thing i've been thinking about, measure fuel in gals , liters, pounds, etc, instead of %

field fuel bunkers will each have XXXXX gals of fuel , when you put XXX gals in your plane, the fuel at the field reduced by that much. field fuel bunkers are resupplyed by convoy and/or C47, ammo could be treated same way.

if a fuel bunker is destroyed , fuel is lost.

this makes more sense than %, this also gives a field a finite amout of fuel over a set time period (unless resupplyed by players, C47, M3 ), this may slow down the endless reupping from fields.

Then your coffee cup wasn't at 100% if it could hold more .

Ah, but the extra drop overflowed into the auxiliary...er, I mean the saucer. So the pilot...er, I mean the coffee drinker has more than 100% coffee he/she can consume, if they don't mind slurpping out of the saucer

You're confusing increasing max capacity with percentage of capacity filled . If johnny can drink 12 beers then we know that 6 beers was at most 50% of his capacity . Adding more container space increases max capacity, his car now has 100% of 20 gallons of fuel. If the 5 gal can was empty he would be at 75% capacity, 15gallons/20gallonscapacity 15/20 or 75/100 or 75% It's very simple .

It doesn't matter where the excess coffee goes, the cup is still only 100% full, it can't get any fuller.

We don't know how much the coffee drinker can consume so we have no idea what percentage of that the volume of the coffee cup is .

It just a matter of how you want to express it. Percentage is just a ratio of how much of the whole you have or don't have .The whole will allways be 100% So lets say a field has 5 fuel bunkers of 2000 gallons, a total of 10,000 gallons . One of the fuel bunkers is emptied (destroyed) you now have 8,000 gallons of fuel, or 80% fuel supply .

Who the f__k cares?
Don't you think they have another things to do than play with percentage numbers?

Define "whole" please Samm? Are you speaking the universe in its entirety, or are you taking only a part of it (much like one might do seperating internal storage from external)?

I mean the maximum value of the given subject . Which when expressed as a percentage will allways be 100, regardless of how much the maximum capacity waxes or wanes .

The given subject in this case being clean fuel capacity. That does not change, though you may carry more than that if you want.

Or at least I can, I just add another tank or two increasing capacity. Sometimes I bring a gallon of beer, then I have over 500% beer mug capacity.
