Message text Three years ago, I attended the WWI fly-in at Dayton Ohio. I was able to see about 25 authentic and replica aircraft during the show. The replica Fokker DR1s took about 4 seconds to turn around (11L2). If you assign 5 seconds per manuever, the tripe can only dogfight between 1 and 3 minutes without using up all 37 fuel boxes. If I recall correctly, the pilot had to kill the Dr1's engine to slow down since the engine ran at a constant speed. If the Tripe's engine can run for 1 1/2 hours at full speed, how come it can only fly for 3 minutes when you are interupting fuel to the engine?
I agree that having differnt amounts of fuel is a way to play balance the sides and it adds character to the aircraft. However since most dogfights are measured in minutes, I don't find the flight time relevant. |
