Well, we do know 87 octane was standard for Fighter Command at the start of the war and we know that by May 1940 only select Units of fighter command converted to 100 octane.

I'll let you guess what the rest of the Units kept operating on.

I wonder why a unit, that operated on 87 octane in 1939 and kept operating at 87 octane through most of 1940 would mention anywhere that yes, the standard 87 octane fuel is still in use, just like yesterday.

The whole 'no proof that the standard fuel was kept being used' is a red herring by those who cannot provide evidence that every unit has changed over to 100 octane, simple as that. They can't prove their thesis, so they want others to disprove it. It's a weird, reversed logic.

Anyway, the whole 100 octane stuff is going on for years and not a single shread of clear evidence has been found for its exclusive use by fighter squadrons. Of course it may exist still, but given such has been found for so many years, I seriously doubt the case.
So when Madox Games gets around to modeling the late war Bf109K-4s, the 1.98ata boost model will not be done as there is no shred of evidence that is was used by any operational units when cleared for use.

Well there's sufficient evidence and Oleg chose to model the variant based on that evidence for Il-2:Sturmovik.

And you were permabanned when you called Oleg mental afterwards as I recall. I guess history will just have to repeat itself.

Sufficient evidence? Not even an original document was ever presented. Only supposition and wishfulness on your part Barbi.

Another one of your lies Barbi.
Nope, I can register anytime I want to, but as the place is like a morgue, why bother.

Well, the main thing is that the 2000 PS 109K was added and you were banned after one of your typical brainf*rts and insulting of Oleg. I guess you can squibble over the details.
