I just won a battle where I felt like the real winner was the larger allied fuel tank rather than the allied pilots. We had this problem with the board game too. While the extra operational radius of the allied models is probably historically correct, it doesn't take into account how the air war was being run. From what I've read, the german pilots were instructed to wait on their side of the lines for the allied planes to come to them. This would have probably negated this advantage of extra fuel.
I was wondering if players would be interested in having the option (and I stress option) to equalise fuel when creating an engagement.
In some scenarios, it would not matter much. However, less fuel has been traded for better maneuvers in such planes as the Fokker DVII, to cite one example.
Anyone expected this to be an exact reflection of historical accuracy, needs to be reminded this is a beer and pretzels, hexagon wargame.
