Porking fuel

[bj229r]

I gotta agree with ALf here....WHAT does amount gas available have to do with how many gallons ya can put in plane?...if plane can only get 100 gallons due to a supply issue...then what ya are lookin for is plane with best miles per GALLON (or liter...for yall dopesmoking-maggotinfested-pinko-commie-libs) at any rate..the fact that a P38 flies forever on 25% and a spit or 109 goes about 5 min on 25% is ONLY because of the teeny tank...if ya put same amount of gas in each plane...they would stay aloft similar times. ..unless I was drivin the 38....would get kilt of course.

AW4W yes
AW2 yes
AW3 (early) yes
AWME no......... the link between fuel quantity and qwuality was broken...........by AWME the zone limit was adjusted by the fuel attririon.

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

I kinda agree with this from a game play perspective        however the % factor is all wrong................. its the gas guzzlers with big tanks that should be penalised............they are the more sensitive to fuel attrition

eg if ac 1 has a 200 gal tank and ac 2 has a 350 gal tank then fuel should be shared out in absolute quantities rather than %'s.

Hence when we consider 500 gals equal to 125% then at 75%  (300 gals per plane) ac 1 can take a full load of fuel plus  (upto 100 gals) drop tank (if available) but ac 2 has to take only up to 300 gals (86% of its max nom cap)
