Unless we get the early (pre Battle of France / pre Dunkirque) versions of Hurricanes or Spitfires with Weybridge propellers etc, there is no point having them modelled with 87 octane fuel in game. DH propeller has nothing to do with the fuel.

Exactly, definitely 100 octanes for Merlin XII.

I understand you suggest it this way due to playability, but it is rather unhistorical. Again, DH airscrews or Rotol - nothing toi do with the fuel used.

Exactly!

Good point, I believe it's a mixture issue. Same with Blehneim.

Yes indeed, but not exactly the way you propose. Unless you'd like to represent very early mark I RAF fighters, 100 octane fuel should be used in game.

So i think if in incoming patch there will be not solid and professional FM revision for these planes many people will be really dissapointment expecially when Luthier promise that there will be FM and performacne revsion in coming patch some time ago.
