droptanks

Post by Marco223 »

Hallo Simovitch,

Ich möchte dir gerne Rückmeldung geben. Mein Problem mit dem Alarmstatus ist behoben.
Vielen Dank dafür.

Ich hätte trotzdem noch eine Frage,
Gibt es als deutscher in BTR bestimmte Regeln mit den Zusatztanks (droptanks)?
Meistens starten nämlich meine Flugzeuge ohne Zusatztank.
In Runde 2, hatten ich glaube gerade 5-10 Flugzeuge der Luftwaffe einen Zusatztank.
Jede folgende Runde, starten tatsächlich jedoch mehr Flugzeuge mit Zusatztank.
Ich starte natürlich ohne Raketen.
Meine Me109 G-5 hatten noch nie einen Zusatztank, natürlich auch ohne Raketen.

Problem war schon immer, und hat nichts mit dem aktuellen Patch zu tun.
(Oder gibt es eine bestimmte Regel, die ich nicht kenne)

Vielen Dank für alles, und schöne Grüße

I wanted to give you an update. My issue with the alert status is resolved.
Thank you very much for that.
I still have one more question, though:
Are there any specific rules regarding drop tanks for German players in BTR?
Most of the time, my aircraft start without drop tanks.
In round 2, I think only 5-10 Luftwaffe aircraft had drop tanks.
However, in each subsequent round, more aircraft actually start with drop tanks.
I start without missiles, of course.
My Me109 G-5s have never had drop tanks, also without missiles, naturally.
This problem has always existed and is unrelated to the current patch.
(Or is there a specific rule I'm unaware of?)
Thank you for everything, and best regards.
Marco, please ask in English, my German is very rusty!

If the aircraft/weapons database shows an aircraft having droptanks as a default load, then it will take off with a full droptank and burn that fuel until it is jettisoned by combat or is empty.

An aircraft will load up with full droptanks when it gets ordered to intercept or patrol during the action phase. You can check the endurance in the pilot listing. The number in parenthesis represents the droptank fuel.

Hello,

Ok, i try it in english.

Yes, i know. The number in the parenthesis is the droptank fuel.

But my Bf109 G-5 started never with the droptank. They have always only 75 endurance.

In other groups, sometimes they started all with droptanks. And sometimes not.

All pictures are the first start at the Day
