But really, where are your facts?

I have to say they have done a great job of presenting a lot of evidence, circumstantial though much of it may be, in support of their case.

For me the final straw was the pilots themselves writing about using 12lbs and "pulling the tit."
I highly doubt that these men are liars, though most of veterans are prone to exaggeration.

With the lack of definitive evidence, such as a list of which units used how much of what type of fuel each week in the BoB, I think it is fair to say that these aircraft should be modeled for 12lbs given the circumstantial evidence here and the pilots accounts.
Hell we even had one in IL2 for Pete's sake!

EDIT: Come on! Your really reaching with that last post! Lol!
Ive seen people court marshaled/UCMJ'd, and violation of a tech manual was never one of the serious charges. Ancillary at best.
