Given Britain's empire status I presume she had multiple sources of
Oil as well as the US? So what quality of petrol was used for
tanks? By the same token the Russians seemed to prefer
diesel engines, presumably for supply & temperature reasons, but
how did they go on with fueling the LL vehicles as I believe both
the brit val/church & US shemans were both petrol engine I thought
so were they run on purely imported oil or Russian petrol?
Ingame the British Bedford six produces 350hp vs the Russians
374hp. So either the Russians upgraded the engine which I
cant see given how unreliable it was to start with, or
they used better fuel (or WG pulled the figures out of their
[edited]).TheKroo: Interesting fact is that the UK has had a large supply of
oil in World War II, but the production and processing of that oil
were a somewhat different story. So the largest producer of oil,
largest output came from United States, as Listy has noted.
USSR did had a fairly decent crude oil production tho, enough to
supply the LL's, in other instances it relied on US.
Differences between British Bedford Six on Premium and
Standard Churchill are not a reflection of the oil status, rather a
game balancing device.
