Oh that makes sense. Although it would be bad to have too much too, but it would have to be a significantly larger difference to chase major problems
And if you ever need inspiration for something to build, just ask me! I'm sure I can come up with something you'll like
@F104Deathtrap Haha what??? I did know germany wasn't all that perfect after reading about the HE-177 "Flaming Coffin" being an absolute nightmare with it's persistent engine fires and poor dive performance... but that tops everything.
@Aeromotive Yeah, but when it came to putting pilots inside contraptions that would likely kill them, nobody could top the Third Reich. If you click this informative video about the ME-163 Komet and fast forward to 32:30 you'll be treated to the following quote: "Guess where they chose to put the additional tanks of flesh dissolving acid? If you answered 'in the cockpit' you are correct."
@Strikefighter04 The Nazis relied heavily on French industry during WW2, but were often disappointed. Citroen trucks were particularly notorious for their terrible reliability. What the Germans never realized was that the trucks were fine if they had the proper amount of engine oil, the factory workers had merely sabotaged them by shortening all the oil dipsticks.
Oh I actually saw that comment before
They had us in the first half not going to lie
Hmmm...
@F104Deathtrap

@switdog08 I should, you're right. As for the dipstick, I misspoke. They cut the notch further down on the stick, so the oil was always too low.
@F104Deathtrap
Bro you should really start building again

So the trucks had too much oil?

this made me laugh lol

@Aeromotive
XD
Britain was pretty good at this too. Imagine flying at 400mph low level and suddenly your freaking tail falls off.
I always wondered why 109 wings seemed to just fall off when you shot at them
@Strikefighter04 You're only as strong as your weakest link.
Huh, that's kinda funny, so simple as to cut some dipsticks can screw up an entire force. @F104Deathtrap

THAT'S why the Stuka was so slow, that damn mechanic didn't tune the engine correctly!
