Spitfire XIV in Rhineland career mode doesn't have enough fuel for armed recon missions.

We took off from Grave, just south of Nijmegen. We were on an armed reconnaissance mission to the city of Rhine via Borculo. Me and my entire squadron bingo fueled within minutes of us starting our long trip home after the the patrol above Rhine finished. Needless to say, not everyone made it.

 

Otherwise, the XIV is a great ship, a joy to fly in VR! Great work!

The next mission was the same kind, but to Münster. Same result. I had to land in German territory and was captured because I had to use fuel dogfighting.
