110 G2 fuel tanks and bailing out.

[wellenbrecher]

Despite what the title might imply I have two separate questions. 

 

First:

I'd be very grateful to whoever can tell me the size of the fore and aft tanks of the 110 G2 respectively. Not the total fuel load, but how much each tank can carry.

As in, are the two front tanks the same size of the rear ones? Or are they smaller or bigger or I don't know what.

 

Been eye-balling the fuel I bring so far and it's starting to bug me how much I waste most of the time. 

 

Secondly:

Is there anything to accelerate the bail-out process on German planes? Specifically the 110 again, but if there's something that helps in general I'd be all ears.

I am asking because earlier I was hit by heavy AAA while climbing out and away from the target (I had roughly 300kp/h IAS by the time I got hit) and I was at 1.3 km of altitude. The dive I was forced into wasn't particularly steep but I decided to bail anyway because I was over a forest. The plane was mostly level but starting to slowly tilt to the right.

Now. The canopy came away right away and then nothing happened. Or rather nothing that was animated I should say. For, as timed in the replay, a whooping seven seconds to be precise. At which point my chute didn't have time to open as I was too close to the ground.

 

I am fully aware the climb wasn't ideal and way too slow, but both engines were severely damaged and I wanted to get a last run in  before one or both gave out completely. The question as such is not about avoiding AAA, but specifically bailing out.

To answer the first question myself:

Two forward (main) tanks are apparently 375l each.

Two aft (reserve) tanks are apparently 260l each.

 

I.e. in the fuel gauge the set of numbers beneath the line is for aft and the numbers above are for the main ones. Kinda obvious in hindsight...
