Hi Kwiatek,

Thank you for your post. I was not asking for exactly the same as the A2A Spit as I said:

"Is there any chance that we could have the Spit represented 'something like' this, as it was in the battle with 100 Octane fuel in CloD too?"

My point is that CloD appears not to have made any attempt to give us the correct Battle of Brittain Spitfire, or Hurricane for that matter. This is very dissapointing to so many flight sim enthusiasts, as 100 Octane fuel was a long term plan that the British arranged and put into action specially in time for the BoB. As I understand it, along with the Rotal prop and the way radar, air observations and intelligence was used to inform strategy and tactics, 100 Octane fuel was one of the fundamental reasons for RAF success in the air, when so much was against them.

At least on the axis side, CloD appears to have attempted to provide aircraft to the correct specification (if not actuauly achieved flight performance) and does not appear to have missed something so fundamental; of course I stand to be corrected on that as I am no expert and I must say that I have enjoyed being educated by my involvement with this sim and the community. Infact, I have found IL-2 to be a great history lesson for me, particularly on the Eastern front.

Happy landings and 'Salute' all,

Talisman
