My own experience says the opposite. Did you ever fly a DVII without fuel problems? Those 24R/L3 are exilahrating!


so we have different experiences... that's part of the fun!

when i play a DVII i normally tend to get to the firefight the sooner possible. maybe starting with low fuel manouvers but heading rigth to the point.
(and, i must admit, sometimes when flying against a DVII i tend to postpone the fight in order to get a possible advantage in the second part of the game.
blame on me! )


Actually, I do the same. After years of cautious look-at-fuel-gauge flying, I realized that the "right" way to fly a Fokker is: get to the point, fight hard, score what you can and leave when you have enough fuel left to do it quick and clean.

BUT the average fokker flyer (i.e. excluding rookies doomed to glide and "enlightened" ones, IOW the greatest part by far) does 15 and 2 wishing he could do 24 and 3.

AND allies tend to stay away from DVII for the first half of the game. More or less all of them.

Now, with a 5x fueled DVII, Germans can zoom and run as they like, and the keep-away tactic becomes useless. After all, 3 IS the maximum speed for ALL planes, and even SPAD XIII MUST turn eventually. And here come Boelke's dicta: showing your tail to a Fokker is bad, but showing your tail to a fast Fokker is worse.

The bottom line is: more fuel means more action and less beating around the bush.

If the game is longer, who cares as long as it is thrilling?
