Hi guys. Regarding this topic, and now that i have really good controls to play... It seems clear to me that AAR, with the Viper, has this problem where there is an air hole or well right behind the tanker, surely someone else has noticed this??

I fly behind the tanker straight and level, getting slowly closer to the boom, then when i'm about some good feet away from it, the aircraft start going down and accelerates by itself, which seems to me, shows the presence of some form of air "hole/well".
Other times the aircraft seems to want to go up.. and up.
It makes connecting very hard.
Also, after connecting, the plane wants to go down and lose speed, but not as dramatic.
In the real world, pilots describe after connection, the boom pulling a bit the airplane around, which should be the opposite of what happens in DCS !
I fly with wake turbulence on, by the way, but i'm not so sure this is the problem. I think i always noticed those things even without wake turbulence
