Since we are on the discussion of fuel, why not, what tank gets filled?  I choose to fly with X tank and y tank at 100% for xx flight time.  I like the slider idea, because on planes like the mustang, sometimes 60% is what you could use (I always run 75%....thats a lot of time).

I up with 100% fuel in all planes.

This has helped me many times when I chase a fleeing enemy who didn't bring enough fuel to complete his mission.........except when they race away and dive in/ditch to deny the kill from the person who brought enough fuel.

The plane is more than capable of contesting and winning most other planes in the game even with 75%+ onboard.

Further, 25% in a 109K4 gives about 6-7 minutes of flight time. Very simple minded of you to up just to die/ditch/bail with no intent of making it back. Otherwise you'd take RTB gas.

Well duh. Unless intercepting, I hardly ever fly at less then 75% full internal, or 50% and DT.

Further, they're bombers: A couple minutes and they're dead. And the K4 can stay airborne under ridiculously little throttle. I just crank back the ata and half glide, half fly back to base and land 3 kills.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
