Well there's sufficient evidence and Oleg chose to model the variant based on that evidence for Il-2:Sturmovik.

And you were permabanned when you called Oleg mental afterwards as I recall. I guess history will just have to repeat itself.

Well, we do know 87 octane was standard for Fighter Command at the start of the war and we know that by May 1940 only select Units of fighter command converted to 100 octane.

I'll let you guess what the rest of the Units kept operating on.

I'll leave the guessing to you, I'm interested in knowing.

We're not talking about May 1940. We're talking about the Battle of Britain.
So July, August, September. And we're not guessing.

So once again. Present you own argument and stop nit picking our's.

With some documents, circumstantial evidence, whatever it is that you've got that makes you so convinced that 87 octane was in widespread use by fighter command during the battle of Britain. Just saying that it was is a pathetic way to try and prove that what you say is correct. It's not like we're alone in our opinion. There are plenty of authors on the subject who agree with the argument that the conversion happened in the spring of 1940. If you want to change the general consensus then I'm afraid that "because kurfurst says so" isn't going to do it. It does however highlight what a closed mind you have.

Well here it is. It clearly says that 100 octane is only issued to select fighter stations, and this is how it stayed, given the lack of evidence to the contrary.

So a very contemporary graphic (I'm sure this technology is post 1940's)....in low resolution is all you need for evidence?

what is the source of that graphic? what is the source of info used to produce that graphic? does that information have a date to refference?

Sufficient evidence? Not even an original document was ever presented. Only supposition and wishfulness on your part Barbi.

Another one of your lies Barbi.
Nope, I can register anytime I want to, but as the place is like a morgue, why bother.
