difficulty LimitedFuelOption 90

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 100
This is the realistic setting. All online players take-off with 100% of fuel.

Thanks.

A little confused since I would think a 40% limit would mean the player could not choose a fuel loadout higher than 40%. This would work great on smaller maps making the fuel usage an issue.

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 00
This is the default setting. Online player can choose all fuel settings

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 10
This is the default setting. Online player can only choose 10%

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 20
Online player can only choose 20%

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 30
Online player can only choose 30%

etc.

No need to go past 90% since the 00 option allows 100 percent fuel.

To tell the truth, here is my wish:

difficulty LimitedFuelOption 100
This is the realistic setting. All online players take-off with 100% of fuel. NO LESS!

Thanks.

Some maps are scaled. They are actually 1/2.
Those maps should have 50% fuel enabled.
At least for the sake of caring about fuel shortage.

Unacceptable. Bf 110 and P-51 carry so much fuel that they would be gimped as a result.

Ok!
Forget the comment about realistic setting. ;).

Theres not many maps in IL2 1946 that need 100% fuel.

The game is mainly designed for condensed action not historical length flights,
that's why some maps are chopped down and squashed up eg: Italy

Getting an online piot to fly more than 15 minutes to action is bad enougth let alone a few hours.

Since both Bf 110 and P-51 were mentioned...

Bomber interception in Bf 110 was one of my favourite tasks in 2016/2017 winter season online. For example on Italy map there:

A map chopped down, indeed.
But as true hard core interceptor you need a lot of time to wait for your pray. 100% fuel and drop tanks and the heaviest weaponry available... harder the merrier :grin:
After 50 min of cruising you finally spot those 12 x B-17s...patience pays. :twisted: And withdrawing from the last attack with internal tank punctured you were glad that you did not save on the fuel before the take off.

But who was my nemesis? That smart ass P-51 who just scrambled every 20 min with minimum fuel load as soon as bombers began to shout "we are under attack" and who occasionally caught me with my pants down near the bombers formation. I did wish him to carry 100% fuel, damned ! :mad:

Sorry, I have digressed. :cool:

you gotta let it go DimLee;)

I have been thinking about that suggestion, it' always on off, so adding it would not effect anyone who did not want it, but it would be good for DF servers, guys would climb to burn fuel, and the Bombers would have a chance to get alt as well while the opposition was burning fuel.

(Though I think all heavy's should get a 6000-8000m spawn when flying online, on servers with externals. What I would love more is the single player "4 for a flight" to be available to Bomber Pilots online, it's too easy for one Fighter to take out one Bomber, and usually it's one bomber vs several fighters. And I would probably hit something with my bombs if there were three more planes dropping in same area).

Anyways, I like it, and I can see some potential uses for it.

**like Max fuel, to create a situation like 109's over the channel, only have enough for 20 min over target. (now most would just fly till empty, or get shot down trying, but it's there for guys who wanna take it seriously that weekend.)

15 Minutes? I think you are off by about 10. Seriously, I don't know why I even attempt to make co-op missions anymore. Anything more than 5 minutes and half the players start griping and complaining.
