Yes, the historical record shows that in March 1939 when the planners were looking at converting 16 fighter squadrons to 100 octane, there were in fact only 16 operational squadrons (+/- 1) equipped with Hurricanes or Spitfires. Clearly more than 16 squadrons had converted to 100 octane before the Battle of Britain.

Mystery of the 16 squadrons solved.

Now the 1C devs can feel free to give our Spits and Hurries their badly-needed and much-deserved +12 lbs of overboost and resulting emergency 5 minutes or so 30 mph increase in top speed. The sooner the better - a "hotfix #2" would be just the ticket!!!!

I am all for it, but only if there are felt penalties for abusing/overboosting the engines of all sides longer as rated!!!

Like loosing power slowly or better a increased chance of throwing a rod or something like that, this combined with corrected oil and water temperature changes.
