What are the benefits of each of the liquid fuels. When I look at the stats, kerolox seems to be the best in everything.

    @SoulWarden depends on its size and purpose, smaller crafts tend to do much better with denser fuels but kg for kg hydrolox is much better so if you fine with the extra size hydrolox is better

    Well no its the best in density. Hydrolox has the best isp which is a measurement of performance. But hydrolox has a low density so you need large tanks, methalox is in between them, with a decent isp and density
