Oh, I give up if that's the sense of proportion that people have. Apparently just over a quarter of all RAF fuel consumption being 100 octane from July-August (which means Fighter Command 10, 11, 12 and 13 Groups, all of Bomber Command and all of Coastal Command) no longer even leads to the conservative conclusion that the approximately 20 squadrons at a time stationed in 11 Group Fighter Command stations used it *at least*. Not like that's important since they're the stations that nearly all of the missions shipped with the game are concerned with of course.

Probably bombers and the handful of PRU Spitfires used it all. That would be totally logical during the defense against a large-scale bombing campaign. Oh, hell, in fact they probably filled up Sunderlands with it. Also, apparently widespread usage = the 15th variation that had 4 produced and saw service for 3 hours before the battle officially ended later.

I'm already confused enough about why we don't have a 109 E-1 and E-4, and why the 110C-4 doesn't use the FF/M, and why certain RAF aircraft that should don't appear to have CSUs, at the moment we basically have a Battle of France simulator without the fixed wooden props on some RAF aircraft, but now people are getting weird about something that should definitely be modelled in RAF aircraft in exactly the same way as any of the other features above.
