Bf 109 Radiator/oil cooler on E-3/4

[robtek]

Well, i believe when the FM is fixed and we will fly in realistic heights of 7000m to 9000m to escort our bombers all the way to London,
we will have to cruise with max endurance-settings.
I think that when you then have to dive a few thousand meters to the hurris and spits which are attacking the bombers the possibility exists that the oil cools down too much as you have to dive without power so you dont overspeed.

Of course in the normal all-day-online reality one can leave them open as the fight is between 0m to 1500m and always full throttle as long as the engine holds out.

If you fly at 4/5K you will hve to manage/close your oil rad to prevent excessive cooling and warm up your oil.

It seems to be alrdy modeled in the game

PS: What I am concerned more is the Fuel consumption that seems pretty low for the 109. I had seen myself taking off from France for a free hunting online miss over sth london area ans still got back to base with 50% fuel remaining in my tanks ??!! And Don't tell me that those are fuel fumes

Try asking a friend to fly Ju87 the same route and then stick to him closely in your BF109. After your trip back, check your fuel level.
