| Message text Well it was about sarcasm of course.
Your statement does make a lot of sense if you seperate the heat of the moment from the overall tactical situation. Certainly an aircraft with a full tank of gas could perform as well as an aircraft with only half a tank and fuel considerations did NOT dictate maneuvers in a combat situation, but rather the willingness of a pilot to decide to fight. Because of their lower endurance, German aircraft rather consistently had to disengage before their Allied counterparts. Certainly any fighter pilot who had half a brain in his head (and wanted to keep them there) kept a close eye on his fuel supply, but once again, it was the German who had to pay even more attention to it.
To ignore the reality of endurance (fuel boxes)
is to ignore the tactical reality of the situation. |
