Plenty of mis-reading in this thread.

He meant why drain the top tank (even though it isn't sealing) when the rounds that pierce it will probably kill your pilot anyway? The bottom gas tank messes with the CoG, making it harder to evade said bullets.

Why would the round that pierces the top fuel tank kill your pilot?

No, the bottom fuel tank does not mess up the center of gravity, and real work spitfire pilots took fuel from the top fuel tank 1st.

But aether way you can manually chose which fuel tank you want to use 1st................so if you think it messes up your center of gravity no one is stopping you from using up your bottom fuel tank 1st.




Just a reminder, the point of this thread was that the damage list does not correspond to the actual damage of the wing fuel tanks in spitfire 14.
