Hi everybody
I just wanted to ask your opinion if this is something that should be corrected (bug report?): All the Spitfires in game have their coolant radiators modelled rather shallow, clinging beneath the wing. Real Spitfire had their radiators partially buried inside the wing, which at least visually appears not to be case in game. As far as I could see, only MK IX has its radiators extending very slightly inside the wing, while other models don’t have even that.
Now, as the actual radiator is invisible inside its housing this makes little difference in game, unless:
- The hitbox of the radiator is smaller than it should be
- If cooling effect and/or drag of the radiator is calculated based on the size of the radiator.

Now, I don’t really know if this warrants a bug report, nor would I know how to make one. I just wanted to aknowledge this to all of us Spitfire fans.
