Yak 1a, Fuel leak affect all tank ?

[LeFrenchCat]

Today in multiplayer, i had my right wing leaking fuel after receiving a 7.7 bullet. My left wing did not looked impacted with no visible impact or leak effect.

After a few minute later, i noticed, both fuel tanks started to bleed fuel at the same ratio (and fast !).  Both tanks ended depleted at the same very time. Obviously lost the plane because of that.

 

Was that a bug, plane design, or fuel is managed ingame by a single value ?

This is true for all planes. Right now this sim does not have an advanced fuel system. One hole in one tank will drain the fuel from all tanks sadly. This was mentioned in DD120 and it was choosen to deal wioth the rudder-roll-coupling before this.

Or call it advanced fuel system that prevent one wing tank emptied faster than another  to keep plane in lateral stability :-)
