I don't think we agree. Do you even know what the octane number measures? I'll give you a hint: It's not related to the energy density of the fuel. If you had an engine that was designed for 87 octane and put 100 octane in it instead, nothing would happen. 100 octane fuel does not give you more power or fuel efficiency than 87 octane does.

I bothered with some screenies to show what I meant with 1946 though.
What does any of this have to do with 1946? Are you trying to show that the G-2 was overmodeled? Congratulations! Nobody's ever suggested that was the case before!

Please tell me IL2 compare doesn't actually work.
Why would I do that? AFAIK you're the only one who's mentioned IL2 compare.
