Fuel sliders are bugged. The selectable presets and the slide bar overlap

Today I selected 40 minutes (minimum) for the Hornet Mk3 and I got presented with 95 minutes of fuel, however the slidebar was on 30 percent. Therefore I got pelted by the totally equally bad as a 4.3 spitfire mk9 Re2005 while I had to dive to 800kmh IAS because i couldn’t climb at all (and because the re2005 is also very bad and totally equal to the spitfire mk9) it is not

Fuel sliders may be bugged but I love how much you’re overrating the Re2005 at its hilariously massively overtiered state just because you got killed by one lol

Currently the only way to see the actual amount of fuel is by using the wtrti tool. It shows you the exact percentage of fuel before spawn.

nice name, the re2005 is as slow and as good climber as the spitfire mk9 at 4.3, but you forgot something: it can dive past 790 IAS where the spitfire does not, and it accelerates as good (which spitfires are fantastic at) so basically it’s one hell of a boom and zoom aircraft. I’ve never had problems against Re2005 in other similar BR planes, I managed to body three in a single 1v3 on ta152H. The hornet’s just a fast bus. Another planes i’ve had problems with were the sea fury (too boat to dodge it’s attacks) and the ta152C (slow and draggy, no climb)

And despite it’s very overtiered it somehow works not because it turns or has mg151s, but because it can dive as good as the competence even on shallow dives AND surpass the maximum threshold of the 4.3 planes it can compare with.

yea it’s not the only one, Gangjiang’s famous "It’s Fixed!"s that arent actually fixed, like screen flickering when tabbing back into the game.

I know exactly what you did not do and that is select fuel load before spawn and left it from previous match, if you had selected the fuel load before spawning only using the adjustable slider you would have what you want plus 1 or 2min. I know its bugged just saying how it is right now. It is safer to select at start of every match you wont need to touch it if you land

Yeah if you select it on the slider at the start of each match, the drop down menu on the left changes to “custom amount” or whatever.
