DserverJG26 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Hi Guys, I thing we need it for better game expirience to fly much longer S!
Q_Walker Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 They are currently working on updating the fuel management and they have said drop tanks are coming.
Jade_Monkey Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 It's already planned, but no clear ETA. They first thought it could arrive with BOBP, but it looks like other things took priority. I am looking forward to it, especially once the channel map is here ?️ 1
DserverJG26 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 thx guys for notice about it i'll try to find out something about it S!
CSW_606_Temp Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Battle of Normandy without jettisons will be unplayable for crossing chanel. So I hope in Drop tanks in BoN.
76IAP-Black Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 The fuel system needs to be adjusted for droptanks. It also affects Wright and Balance of the planes
Mysticpuma Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 This was from the original IL2 when it was modded to include tumbling drop tanks. This would be cool to see, drop tanks tumbling and unspent fuel leaking out as they fall away. 2 3

Was just reading how during the Falkands war, the British pilots would see drop tanks falling but thinking it was a missile being launched, because of the vapor trail. 1
JLean Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Ok they are historically accurate, but who really need those in the game? Those are needed on +1 hour mission and will result of decrease in performance due its mountings. How many users there would be? Let the team focus on something that increase the joy of game play....like torpedoes or new planes/tanks or new maps. 3

Look at some of the distances on the Rhineland map, to say nothing of cross-Channel missions that'll come with Normandy. They will be very, very useful. 5

I'd want the option for missions that include air-start with close to full fuel... (because I flew from an off-map base). Does this give me an advantage? No. Is it realistic? Yes.

That is actually a good point - it does increase the likelihood that the fuel rework will take place in the foreseeable future. Those poor Spits after-all! That said, it wouldn't be completely unplayable - I believe most of the Spitfires in Operation Jubilee had yet to receive drop-tanks? It certainly limited their effectiveness in the 'great trap for the Luftwaffe' but it didn't prevent them from being over France in force.
CSW_606_Temp Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Look ať map. Normandy Is far then Diepe and Dunkirk. BF can't go to to London efectively And Is this +- same distance to the Beach.

Although we don't have specifics of what or how they are going to implement it, the drop tanks feature would come with a rework of fuel management systems. They did say it would be simplified but I think it would add immersion even without droptanks if we have the option to manage fuel tanks and weight distribution.
