I might give it another go, and challenge myself to see how many kills I can get on one ammo load. But come on - limited fuel is bloody pointless... That really is like lighting a fuse on each and every plane. Maybe you could argue that you should choose a plane with a lot of fuel? Maybe the P51 might actually have a use after all lol

limited fuel is pointless . I've only 1 time ranout of fuel. This was when it was limited fuel/unlimited ammo. I was flying the whole game without dying, and just in the end my engine stoped (not because of too much wep).

Most planes have enough ammo for an average of 3 kills. some will go down in a 1sec burst, others just dont want to die :p. So unless it will take you 20 mins to get those 3 kills and not dying, you wll run out of ammo way before you run out of fuel.

Maybe the me163 is bothered by it, in real life it only had 7 mins of fuel.

LOL! That would be epic. We should try that out.

i too dont like crashing when i run out of ammo ? i used to just fly in a straight line trying to pick up a bandit works most of the time ..

so is it frowned upon to bail out if you run out of ammo ??

Not at all in my opinion. As long as you make sure there's no one on your six there's no reason not to bail/crash. Some people like to use their plane as ammo, which is also a valid option .
