Does the Re.2000 have a fuel gauge? I can't seem to spot it if it does.

I looked .. couldnt find it ..

[Kopfdorfer]

According to the 4.10 manual on page 18 , the Re2000 fuel gauge is two dials on the port cockpit wall just behind
and a bit below the throttle quadrant.

Ah ok, I see them. They seem to work.

I wonder what the difference is between them. The top one has a higher capacity than the lower and seems to drain first. Does one indicate wing tanks and the other fuselage tanks?

DW

[Kopfdorfer]

No Savvy.

yep.. i agree..

[Kopfdorfer]

Well , the Mission Designer for that one needs a bit of a spanking.
Realism - probably yes.
Playability - not up to snuff.
Better next time.

That cruiser took 4x500 lbs bombs and stayed afloat, no doubt she sank after we left the game ... lol  :)

Deadline Manila Mission 6

We took a beating on the last mission.
Lots of damage to P40s and we lost one of the few remaining C-47s in the Philippines.
USAFFE has decided to withdraw as many Command Cadre and wounded as possible from Luzon.
The B17 and C-47 that arrived last mission will head back to Masbate , as will our last remaining PBY, escorted by our last 2  P-35s.

The brave Marine Gunnery Sgt Jack Clowney who volunteered to spot for the Ground Attack Aircraft over Subic Bay has been mentioned in dispatches. Clowney's jeep was last seen under heavy attack by enemy aircraft and naval gunfire. He is officially listed as MIA.

Since then the IJA and IJN have been pounding Corregidor from the air daily.
We have a standing patrol (one section of 2 aircraft) at all times in daylight , as well as other P40s on standby at Mariveles and Pilar.
We expect Corregidor to be attacked again today.

Scuttlebutt has it that the sub parked at Corregidor is taking out all the gold in the Philippine Treasury !

Deadline Manila Mission 7

Description January 27 , 1942

Well , the Mud-Marines and the Philippine Army have been holding the Japanese out of southern Bataan for a couple of weeks now. I don't know how.
As dawn rose this morning , observers along the SW coast of Bataan were alarmed to see an enemy troopship and landing craft steaming ashore from Bagac Bay behind our lines. (Intel Confirms 1 Troop Carrier , plus a 2 Gunboat Escort , as well as landing craft)
As you can guess , this caused the brass a certain amount of excitement.
General Wainwright is at Pilar Airfield following an evening inspection yesterday.
The boys on Corregidor have patched together a flying O-46 from parts , and it will have to get to Pilar and pick up General Wainright right away.

And just when you thought it couldn't get much worse , a Jap flying boat (big sucker - an Emily) flew over Masbate Emergency Field this morning.We have to assume that the Japs have finally located our base there , and will now give it some unwelcome attention.
