SPIT MK I/II and over boost

[Kurfürst]

[QUOTE=41Sqn_Stormcrow;375412]I think we need to apply some common sense here. 100 octane was apparently used but there are serious doubts that it was used in each squadron and each Spit. It seems there is no data available that proofe that all Spits flew with 100 octane fuel.

Agreed.

- should we implement the 100 octane spit types as default even if it is quite probable that not all had this feature?

I think the answer is definietely yes. Server hosts and mission builders can decide their take on the level of availability of the fuel.

- Should we procede then also in the same manner with all the other planes in the game that is to go for the high performance variant of it even if we do not know in which number they've seen action?

- If we had the numbers which should be the threshold to decide that the default plane should be the better performing one?

(I presume that nobody here would really support the application of a certain logic in a one-sided manner that is only go for the highest performance variant for one particular side)

These questions are not rhetoric. I think we should ask ourselves this because I think it would be a fundamental decision that would be taken by the devs.

I think the answer to these question is also a definiete yes, otherwise it would be quite clear that some fanboys are just craving for the "bestest" versions of each plane for their side, while trying to deny the other side from the same.

I for one would consider for example Bf 110C / 601N, ie. C3 types a neccessary addition (since about half the Zestorer units were flying these during the battle, its a plane that was important but not represented yet), and as for a C3 109 probably the Bf 109E-7/N would be a good choice. Its the first mass produced 601N variant, would be absolutely useful for later (Afrika, Med, Balkans, Barbarossa) maps, and it could represent well the earliest examples, since performance was the same.
