I have been a loyal fan for 7 years and now this! And still no 100 octane Spitfire and Hurricane which the RAF planned for a long time and specially used for the Battle of Britain. I keep trying so hard not to be dissapointed but this is wearing me down.
BlackSix, I very politely ask you if there is any chance that you could explain to us why we do not have 100 octane fuel Spitfire and Hurrican? Just an honest answer please and then wether we like the answer or not, at least it may clear the air and help us move on. Thank you in anticipation.

Trying very hard to keep the faith,

Hm...

11. Are you planning to make different octane fuels an option for the plane load out?
Not for Cliffs of Dover.

I don't see anything in this issue of 100 octane fuel.
Do you know which fuel is now flying Spitfire and Hurrican in the game?

This update says mod your CoD skins while we work on Russian countryside, FLAK guns, and Eastern Front stuff. Draw your own conclusions.

and the fixes for AI and graphics engine which both products share.

The negative reactions here have reached a new low, imo.

Some of the posters should know better, as they post more often.

Especially the jumping to conclusions of some writers here.

Otherwise this brings the hope that the average age here is going down.

Well, ok then.

That sounds like a good plan

Uh, unless the dials are lying the game simulates 87 octane fuel for the RAF.

BTW BlackSix ... the screenshot of the russian village shows only wooden houses. I am a plastic modeller and I have seen numerous photos showing rural houses with chalk-white brickearth walls and a straw roof. I wonder if this was something common or limited to a certain geogeaphical area. No biggie, but simply obvious in its absence from said screens.

We have shown not all made ​​at home)
These houses are typical for the western and central parts of Russia.
What you say, is typical for the Ukraine and southern regions. If we do these maps - there will be other houses.

I think we've just had the broadest hint possible from B6.

The implication is that CloD is at 100 octane (but the engine models are porked) and the sequel BoM will have the option for 87 octane.

EDIT: which doesn't explain the Blenny problems... except another porked engine model

B6, this specifically mentions an option within the menu to select. That does not mean you didn't include it, but from this reply it appears that you aren't including it? Even then I am unsure because your answer is ambiguous.

IF there is 100 octane fuel for the aircraft already then it is not modeled. Please could you answer which fits your explanation:

1. It is already there but not modeled in FM.
2. It is already there but not modeled in FM and we are going to model it in FM in the CloD patch.
3. We have no plans to model it in the CloD patch but it will be modeled in BoM
4. We have no plans to model it ever
