Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

[Al Schlageter]

Selective reading, faulty memory and faulty reading comprehension, as usual, on your part Eugene. It was not just the RAF that used the 150 fuel but the USAAF's 8th AF FC.

So tell me Eugene what happened to the 77,100 tons of 100 octane fuel that was issued in 1940 til the end of Oct? The ~50,000 tons consumed must have been burned in the pilots cars and motorcycles.

The only direct evidence from the RAF of the extent of usage we have states quite clearly "selected" units and "those units involved".

Sure Eugene. Pilot's combat reports and unit diaries don't count.

All so that people's favorite WWII computer game-shape could be altered to give them an advantage. Nothing at all to do with serious historical research, just gamers wishing.

These names below were mentioned earlier in this thread.

In the AAW thread Pips also said:

I believe that McFarland, Pugh, Hart, Perret, Lumsden and even Churchill have all quoted parts from the report.

Please take note of the " I believe".

Well, some of the pilots noted using 100 octane in thier cars, but 50,000 tons worth? I doubt it!
