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

[Crumpp]

Absolute rubbish. I posted these documents in response to the repeated claims made that there was a shortage of 100 octane fuel. There wasn't.

Winny,

A shortage can be the result of any number of things. Yes, there was a shortage because the Strategic reserve to production ratio is just not where it should be.

In fact, that shortage continued almost throughout the war and is the subject of several meetings in the United States about 100 Octane production. That does not necessarily mean aircraft were feeling a shortage. It does mean the strategic reserves are short. Remember, they originally wanted 800,000 tons in reserve before a single operational aircraft used the fuel. Of course there is a shortage!!

Great example of why looking at strategic logistics is a horrible method to predict operational conditions is the German late war fuel situation on the western front. Strategically, Germany had plenty of fuel in their reserves. The shortage was at the operational side due to main supply route bottlenecks caused by allied airplanes shooting up the stockyards, railheads, and trucks!
