150 octane fuel

[Guppy35]

"Bestest"? Maybe you should check out first grade again.

The top prop planes in this game are mostly Allied planes already, only two Axis prop planes comes close to match their speed (K4 and D9, you can also argue the 152 but not at the typical MA alt). No  Luftwaffe guy is whining about it. However, when people are asking for these already top prop planes to be even FASTER and climb BETTER, then we have a problem. You already have some of the fastest planes in the game, yet you want more? ("you" meaning everyone who is asking for 150oct, not you - Guppy - the guy who thinks bestest is a word)

IIRC, at sea level:

Tempest
La-7
190D9
P51D
109K4

Are the fastest prop planes in descending order. Add 150oct and almost every single LW American and RAF planes becomes a pick-and-run plane. Can you imagine how ridiculously easy it would be to BnZ in a P47 and rack up 10 kills with that ammo load?

TL;DR Some of the fastest planes in the game are already Allied and only a handful of Axis pilots actually complains about it. No one really cares about that right now. So why on earth do the Allied planes need to have 150oct? They already have no problem running and chasing down Axis planes, why on earth would you need to make them faster?

LOL your comprehension is amazing.  Focus on Bestest .  Why am I not surprised?  I was talking down to you when using the word and clearly it was the right way to go.

Please show me, anywhere in this thread where I asked for 150 octane fuel.  Please point to the exact quote too please?  Cause you won't find it.  You are so wired into the possible impact on your Luftwaffe ride that you can't even see that I have said many times that I don't see the need for 150 fuel. Heaven forbid if you had to work a bit harder in your 109K

[Guppy35]

How is that at all relevent? If we CHANGE the P-51 to be modeled as using 150 octane fuel, well then it will be modeled as using 150 octane fuel regardless of what theater of war we're doing the special event in.

The only even POSSIBLE solution would be to make a seperate P-51 for 150 octane fuel use. Even then, I'd be opposed to it because different fuels used at diffent periods of time is a big can of worms I'd rather not open.
 And you, sir, reeked of incomprehension, and still do now.

A brilliant response as always TankAce.

You keep bringing up arguments against 150 that aren't valid.  I point them out.  And it's my comprehension that's a problem.  Hate to break it to you that I see no need for 150 fuel either.

I must confess though, this is the first thread where I've been jumped by both sides in the argument.  You guys should have been around the first few times we had it, when Kurfurst and Crumpp got going.  They make you guys look like amateurs 

Right Milo?

Take your own advice lil man. I'm not asking whether YOU want 150oct in that post, I'm asking the people who are while using the word "you". Which I even specified. So if YOU would be so kind, please keep quiet until the people who I'm directing my question at answers it.

LOL!  Because you said it, I'll be quiet.  "Little man?"  my three year old is a little man.  I feel like I'm talking to one too. 

I'm still waiting for you to answer my question btw.  Maybe you should read things first before responding?

I feel bad for that lil man then.

And which one of your questions would that be?

*facepalm* I already told YOU that I am not asking YOU, I am asking the people who are requesting 150oct. Mary, Joseph and Jesus, you wouldn't happen to be senile? Do I have to post everything twice for you? Thrice?

Jeez you aren't even good at this.  You are quoting my posts in your comments.  I responded.  How is that not talking to me?   You were quoting me and talking to someone else?  Why quote my reply then?

I'd pay perkies for it. It makes more sense than running late war German fighters with early war ponies set up. This is supposed to be a simulation according to the website, so lets simulate that. It would give me a valid use for perkies and I would be more than willing to do it.

Because your replies are supporting the people who want 150oct...

I'm not in favor of the 150 octane, it was used in one theater on a limited basis. Worse yet, since the potential damage to the engines aren't modeled so it would be horribly abused/over used.

Spending perks for it would be ridiculous as well, some of us have more than 70k perks.

I would pay perkies to fly a non-overweight A8

really? even 1perk seems expensive to make your plane ~30lb lighter

Somebody explain why changing the Spitfire Mk XIV, and only the Spitfire Mk XIV, to 150 octane would be a bad thing?

It is already controlled by a perk price and is hardly ever used due to the fact that a number of free aircraft out perform it.

Because its more fun to listen to you guys whine about how your buts are being handed to you by luftweenies because you don't have 150 super fuel?

just a possibility...

Well, luftweenies do get a super luftweenie aeroplane, the Me 262, so what's wrong with the Allies using their super fuel for perkies as well?  Luftweenies afraid their luftweenie super plane might be challenged more frequently?
