Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

[Gabelschwanz Teufel]

It it patently obvious that many squadrons used 100 octane fuel. How many? Were they confined to 11 group or were they throughout fighter command? We haven't been able to determine that exactly, yet. But to deny it was used at all is to deny documented historical fact

Quote:
"The spitfire were not so succesfull against the 109s in other theaters. At mediterranean and Afrika the allied resources are bigger. And the RAF suffered heavy loses in Afrika and Malta. The failure of the Luftwaffe in this scenarios was mainly because they were outnumbered and low of fuel. And they performed very well. And the spitfire was there."

As an aside, Spitfires (and Hurricanes) initially used in the middle east suffered a considerable performance penalty due to the enormous "Volkes" filter that was attached to keep sand out of the intakes. The "Aboukir" filter that was developed later caused less of a performance issue.
