Why does that 110 apparently have a pot belly? Seems to be inboard of the engine, so it's not a wing tank.

Well T, it does have a pot-belly.[;)] It's a 110D, often known to Ze Germans as a Dackelbauch, flown from Norway during the BoB. The belly is actually a long range fuel tank.

It's the long range belly tank that proved to be a really bad idea...

[goodboyladdie]

Doh! Dixie beat me again!!

Okay, I must have disremembered that one.

[Grollub]

Good morning gents.

[gladiatt]

If ever an old grognard know the answer to this "quick" (?) question about old-Witp:
Is there a rule to convert Endurance in Fuel Point ? How many fuel is needed to full-up the tanks of a ship, if it has 2000 endurance ? 6000 ? 15000 ? Does it depend on size (DD, sub, CV) or else ?
Thanks in advance.

[DuckofTindalos]

There's no rule of thumb for this. Endurance and fuel load are individually based per class of ship. Depends on power plant, hull form and a host of other factors.

Two classes of ship might be of the same type (i.e. BB), have exactly the same bunkerage (fuel capacity), but far different endurances.
