Surprisingly, the planes that benefict more of killing the fuel of a field are just these that load the greatest amounts of fuel. With 25% of a Ta152 u probably can fill up 100% of a 109E and so on. But a 109E with 25% have fuel enough to just take off, do a circle over the field and land while the Ta152 can go and fight over a field one quadrant away without problems.

With the actual system, porking the fuel of a base is affecting the planes in a very umbalanced way.

Hmmm...

Perhaps there can be a way to affect quality of fuel by hitting fuel refineries, as well as amount of fuel at local airflelds.

Yet another reason for more strategic bombing missions

now thats a good idea.

hit the refineries and the fuel is of poorer quality and therfore affects peformance!

I like that

Didn't AW have something along the same lines?

Yes, but it was poorly managed.

AW had localized fuel quality issues, hit fuel at any given base, and only that base would be affected. No attention was given to amount of fuel available.

I would also think that...nevermind...thats for another thread! (country Morale, and base capture....rambling here...)

given the measures available in this game, it would be easier modeled, and more effectively implemented in game play here.

I have recently posted something rather similar and entirely agree.

you are right Mandoble. But the average player grabs his spitn1kla7 and sees the fuel is not good

So he decides to go to another field.
Or do u think these quaker can fly something different ?

Let them. these clowns NEVER intend to land their planes anyway, so in fact, they will get more flying time with the new scenario

25% fuel doesn't stop the spits and n1k's.. especially the n1ks!!

If fuel is porked to 25 and i have the chance to takeoff... the n1k is what I will up in.. n1k gets good mileage

the fuel percentage system represents the advantage of a fighter's range.
otherwise p-51, p47, ta152 and zeke would get little advantage for heaving a good range.

it ain't perfect, but it's something to concider.

Yes it was hated and eventually dropped in favour of the zone limit........... less fuel = less planes.......... not poorer performing planes............

I thought that poorer performing plane happen when someone hit the hangers in AW.

In AW if fuel was porked you could only take planes that didn't require very high octane fuel .

Some planes have bigger guns than others, some planes have bigger wings than others, some planes have bigger fuel tanks than others. All planes have disadvatages and advantages .

Asking for equalizing measures in respect to fuel capacity is just as stupid as asking for equalizing measures in respect to firepower or anything else .

When fuel is porked planes that have small internal fuel stores SHOULD suffer more than planes that have large internal fuel stores .

I just don't understand the logic in this:rolleyes:

Anyone remember the mid seventies gas crunch? Stations limited you to "X" number of gallons, so a little bitsey car would get 1/4 tank, while a huge land yacht would get just enough to et out of the parking lot. Thats how limited supply works.

Please elaborate in why a plane that carries 100 gallons of fuel should suffer more than a similar plane that carries 200 gallons durring a time of limited fuel.
