The minimum fuel quantity for air realistic battles for the Mustang Mk IA (Great Britain) is 27 min which in my opinion is way too much and makes combat and maneuverability very difficult. Am I missing something or does this need to be changed?

Typically its 30% of max. So if the Mustang has a large internal fuel capacity, then its correct. But if the min is greater than 30% then its wrong and needs a bug report
But there is a big request for them to lower it from 30% down to more like 15%. Most heavy fighters and bombers are also quite badly affected by this
Sorry for the confusion, I meant that the max capacity (1 hour and 31 minutes) seem a little too much for a fighter.
Ah, yeah, no idea
The mustang was primarily designed as a long range fighter though, it was built around having a long range, however i can check with some of my sources tommorow its currently 10pm where i am and a have work tomorrow morning
Its also worth mentioning the mustang had a combat range of around 1700 miles, which is even more than the spitfires ferry range (absolute max) at 1100 miles, so it seems reasonable
