Just selecting tanks for filling them up in the loadout section as well as a tank selector switch in cockpitΒ will do.

dogeness 3 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I really hope the P-51D gets 150oct fuel and is able to use MP settings of 72βHg or 75βHg. This was standard from June 1944 and onward and would allow the P-51 to be very competitive with the K-4 and D-9. The 67βHg P-51D would be relatively underpowered, Iβm afraid. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
6FG_Big_Al 650 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It still sounds very promising. And droppable fuel tanks would already be music to my ears. I stay curious! Link to post Share on other sites

BlitzPig_EL 2855 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Not to belabor the fuel system discussion, but even something as simple as 50%(or whatever percentage of total it held) or less fuel taken would keep the P51 fuselage tank empty, would be a good solution.Β I have no issue really with the current model on the A20 of the fuel gauge switching automatically to show the level in all tanks in sequence.

-=PHX=-SuperEtendard 1390 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 @ZachariasX The P-51 would still work ok with the current implementation. If i'm correct currently in the P-40 and P-47 the fuselage auxiliary tank is the last one to fill up when selecting fuel amount, and the first one to be emptied when operating the plane.

unreasonable 3161 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The only concern I have about this DD is that Arras in 1917-18 looked more like the Stalingrad map than what we see in the DD's pictures.Β It was very badly damaged.
