Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

[Crumpp]

Guys,

This is all pretty conventional stuff. You claimed that Operating Notes were not updated consistantly to reflect operational reality. That has claim is disproven and we see the Air Ministry followed convention.

The background story also fits perfectly into normal convention for adopting a new concept.

The Spitfire Mk II has already gone through this test convention and from the begining the power plant was designed for 100 Octane fuel.

When the December 1939 the logistical constraints were met in June of 1940 and we see fuel at the airfields (see Table II), the Spitfire Mk II comes into Operational service using 100 Octane fuel.

That has nothing to do with Spitfire Mk I's and Hurricanes operational conversion.
