For Prop BRs, you’ll certainly notice it with climb rate/acceleration but not necessarily turn rate. So Id take the most you need to get through a match/sortie without running out of fuel but no more. If you were to take max for example, you would really feel it, but you probably wont notice the difference between 20 minutes and 25 minutes on an aircraft htat can take an hour

true, when playing fighters and I’m almost run out of fuel and I’m about to engage into a dogfight I like to think I have the upper hand that I’m gonna turn faster xD Idk if its placebo but I win the fight oftenly
Well I’d think you’d definitely notice it in turn time, especially since bombs on props add a lot.

You’ll probably find that you retain/regain energy a little faster.
Its why I really want more external fuel tanks added. They allow you to run less internal fuel but have enough fuel for most of the match, but you can ditch them when you need to.

Min vs Max fuel, all other conditions identical:

God i sure do love talking to online strangers who are probably 30 year old men at 11:30 at night
Yeah, going from min to max fuel would probably make a load of difference, but if you are debating between taking 10 minutes or 15 minutes, out of 1 hour max, then you’ll probably not notice it hugely.
But I wish you could adjust the stat card page to display stats both at different alts and fuel loads

well, that is a good evidence of fuel weight in WT
Yup, and one of the main times I really pay attention to how much fuel I’ve got left (besides just not running out fuel and crashing). If I try to VTOL land on a Carrier in SB and I’ve got too much fuel, I either need to ditch my stores or go burn some more fuel and try again later (I really wish we could fuel dump)

You forgot the “lives in his mom’s basement part”
yes
How very insightful
When I 1v1 dogfight I notice a difference. Not too much, but it is still an easy scapegoat for when I mess up my first couple of rounds. “Oh jeesh, I forgot I had my fuel up for Realistic”
ate a R-24 in my F-100 today, feeling lucky
Talk about an uptier
yeah it suck facing radar missiles in my succ aircraft
Welcome to War Thunder, where we all have to suffer missiles since they refuse to give us a dogfight mode.
Yes, it affects the performance.
You can easily check it is custom missions.
