cc i was mentioning the burn because thats how i watched the fuel is all...

those tests mean the AFT holds 18 more "units" of fuel than the FWD, 29% more (if i did that math right ROFL)

R*B=P

X*61=18

18/61=.29....

X=29

well 18 is 29% of 61

Well 60 and 60 is 120, so at 139 it's pretty damn close to 50/50

new math: 61 / 139 = 0.4388[...]

So Front = 43% total, aft must be 57% total (14% more)

18 is 13% of the total volume, but i dont know if we are doing this right....

if you want to know how much more than the other tank in volume (independant of the total as if they are 2 seperate units) i think the math i did is the right way, but if you want the % of the total volume each is, yours is right.

i'd be interested in what the fuel burn is at MA settings, full power no wep.

i want to say it uses something like 180 units / hour but i may be wrong.

that number would let us figure out the time in minutes each tank had. (more important in the MA IMHO.

either way this is way off the topic of the 190-d9 dogfighting tips

~~since i can not run the game @ work, and only offline @ home, i am out of this now.~~

Oh, I was going by "14% more... of the total" rather than "18% more than the front tank" -- to me it's too close to quibble. 15 gallons is a very small amount

EDIT: Gallons... liters?? Whatever -- I think the E6B shows gallons on all planes, as it rates things in GPH.

trust me, in the new 190's they drain the AFT first (no AUX) then the FWD.

The 190-A-8 has an aux tank and it carry's more fuel.

The D model IMHO is like a spit V or a G-10,La-7....Dweeb ride.

Not saying people who fly them are dweebs,they are just easier planes to handle thats all.I like my game play too have a degree of difficulty.

dora's a dweeb ride because people run. It doesn't handle better. G10 isn't a dweeb ride, in my opinion. 109s are harder to fly than most.

EDIT: Sorry, that was off-topic

From what i have been reading(German archives)the german LW pilots loved the 190 for its ability to break off combat at will.They did it so why not we do it?Now keep in mind i am not covering the "HO and GO"
aspect.When I am engaged and lose energy i break off combat manuvers
to regain E and approach fight again.

it is only a dweeb ride in the hands of a dweeb

personally, i flew it below 5k generally, and spent all my time "learning" ACM in the weeds with all the spit V's

Morph made a film for me, "to the top" IIRC, you can see how i generally flew it.

I don't find running dweebish at all, in fact, it must've been the best thing to do when you think you're being out-matched

Also, fast planes don't turn that well, maybe the "dweeb-ride" just gets some seperation, and attack again
