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

[Al Schlageter]

If the CloD map included the whole of the British Isles then 87 and 100 fuel should be available. Since the CloD map is basically 11 Group only 100 fuel should be available.

There was quite a few Hurricane squadrons in France using 100 fuel. (posted in this thread)

That's exactly where the effort could go.

Why is it important?

Should there not be 87- and 100-octane variants in the sim regardless?

Well, there should definatly be 100 octane, as all the evidence from pilots etc shows in this thread. As to 87 octane, no actual evidence has shown one operational flight using that fuel during bob, despite the endless arguments

I guess they would be nice to simulate 1939 though.

Still i think most people would settle for both, not holding my breath that we will see 100 octane spit1's and hurris though.

I feel it's important for me personally to make a stand, purley from a historical point of view. As far as Cliffs goes, you're right, have both variants. Problem solved.

This is more about 1 mans personal crusade to change history, it just happens to have moved to here. Maybe it's not the 'right' place to do it.

All you need to do is Google "100 octane fighter command" and the same person shows up, name calling, character assasinating, arguing, cherry picking and obviously has an agenda that has nothing to do with history.

My problem with this is the motivation. If it's historic then it's opposite to his obvious bias. Kufurst is basically saying that the RAF performed better during the BoB, as they managed to repel the LW using mainly 87 octane. If I was just some RAF fanboy then surley I'd quite happily accept that.

My problem lies in the fact that his motivation must be related to Simulations. It's the only reason I can think of for repeatedly arguing that 87 was the main fuel (remember that he's invested a lot of his time into a 109 site).

It's the manipulation of history to achieve this that I personally am standing up against.

The accepted view is that fighter command converted in the Spring of 1940.
I challange anyone to find me a book on the subject of the BoB that states otherwise. Yet K keeps on with his repeated attempts to challange this. I have yet to see one really convincing piece of contemporary evidence.

This isn't about Cliffs for me, at the end of the day it's just a game. (I own a copy but am unable to play it on my current set up)

Nobody has to read this thread, there's always the circular argument about fanboy/whiners going on in the main forum to keep you entertained

I'm actually quite proud that a few individuals of this much crticised 'community' feel the same way I do.
