They are connected to our Fuel System update which has had issues getting finished after testers found various issues. So still in development.

I am really excited about flying authentic missions III./JG 26 flew during the later part of the war. There is no way one can takeoff from Plantlunne to Aachen do battle and make it back on a single tank of fuel. The Dora can do it barely though. I am made some single mission but it's always a diversion airfield on return.

It will be a relief to get this sorted, or maybe drop tanks Jason. Having to worry about being able to limp my Mk14 Spit over our front lines, and put down in the nearest field after a long patrol mission, is a challenge I could easily live without. Thanks for letting us know you're aware of an issue. All the best.

A lot has happened since this post. Jason is out as Executive Producer (and is now over at MicroProse) and we haven't had an update on the drop tanks for quite some time. It's unclear if this feature is still coming or not. It might be, but we just don't know.

 

The upcoming Spitfire XIV bubble canopy version does have an extra internal fuel tank so if Spit XIV range is something you specifically care about, that version will have a bit more.

 

Ten month old thread resurrections tend to cause confusion so I thought I'd head that off.

Yes, it's already been reported.?

Anyhow, the issue with the drop tank implementation is well known, so there is no reason to pile on in this thread.
