Title: More on fuel depots
Post by: MANDOBLE on April 14, 2003, 06:38:10 PM

We dont want perk rides, but we actually have a much more efficient way to cover that: porking fuel. Suddenly, half of the planeset is negated with only 25% availabe. 190A5, 109E/G/F, C205, F4U1D and others becomes "perk" rides, while others like P51/P38 dont.

Interesting and spot on way of putting that Mandoble.

I don't think I have ever heard anyone argue against making the fuel pork gallons rather than a percentage.

That's a very good point...what's 25% to a Lancaster is different from what is 25% to a P51

A Lanc can fly a long long time on 25% (I dont recall ever taking more than that)...so even a fuel porked field doesn't prevent a bomber from uppin, etc

that's why some system other than % should be used... make it so that the damaged fuel impacts the planes performance ratehr than limiting the amount of fuel a plane could take... this will make all the "A bomber with 25% fuel carries more than a FW with 100%" people stop whining... affecting fuel quality would affect ALL planes equally.

rgr that..also hangars destroyed should degrade plane performance for late war rides.  Also perk multiplier
shouldnt effect early war rides(negatively), say prior to 1942.
  Please dont FORCE me to fly a la7.
