Yup, I wonder why this was overlooked so much when we literally have a working C-130 with sounds and a damage model

Awesome shots! Also who would love to have this as a faction since Kuwait also owns the KC-130 as their tanker ;) (which we just got)

I hope it's the C-130J variant

OV-10 is still a combat type

Out of curiosity, since you guys want a tanker, why not something different and possibly epic? ;) How about a KC-747 or KC-707? Not to mention I think these would fit like a glove in the new SOH map.

Today i flew the Mirage 2000, and tried refuelling from the KC-130. After a briefly successful refueling I wanted to see how the KC-130 looked when damaged so I shot it with my canons. Plane appeared to be in one piece with no problems at all, no smoke. It simply spun out of control and crashed. I also noticed it shares the same sounds as a standard KC-135 or any of the other blue side heavy jets. Would this be fixed in the near future? I don't think it should be much that way.

When the Jester AI comes, i think that should allow for a lot more flyable aircraft which have multicrew, like a bomber or a tanker

What escorts are we getting for Red side?

Awesome! :thumbup:

Really? What was that history? Never heard of it

If anyone thinks about a good Soviet Cold war bird, why not the Su-15 Flaggon?

On the deck? Nah

I think the KC-747 would be most ideal for this map though, plus the only jumbo jet tanker in the world. In DCS!

I can completely understand a flyable tanker being a paid for addon. Also if they make this and include it in an paid for asset, I hope its an asset that is preincluded with the purchase of the SOH map instead of having to be bough separately like the WW2 asset pack

Also the KC-707 has other operators whose factions are there in the game, like Australia, Israel etc.

Well it could be either way, the point is having such a plane for Iran and adding to the authenticity of the sim

It could be introduced as an official hanger that way and then later down the line make improvements to it's FM

I'm pretty sure anyone can make the KC-707, and simply add the flight dynamics of the KC-135. However they would have to add the new stuff to incorporate both the boom and the Probe/drogue system

If you check the roadmap you will see there is an F-16C MODULE which is apparently in progress as of now.

They're a similar airframe, but not the same. The KC-135 stems from the C-135 which is originally a cargo aircraft. Hence it has no windows and a slightly wider fuselage. While the 707 is a passenger aircraft. You can look em both up

Since we are getting the F-14, F-4 and the SOH map with Iran included, I'm sure their's going to be a bunch of new AI planes available which are home to those skies. Any chance we might see the KC-707 and the KC-747 make it in? Imagine getting your F-14 or F-4E refueled by either one of these planes ;) :D

Oh yeah I almost forgot, also does the realistic afterburner mean the AB with spitting stuttering flames like in the real one?

Since 2.5 might have wing vapes and we know for certain it's coming on the F/A-18? Will the M2000 also have this in the future? And will it be dynamic if it did? Here is a video showing an Mirage 2000 at a 20 degree AOA and how the air reacts to it's wing for reference. And here's a video of a Mirage 2000 max performing, here the wing and body vapes are really prominent!

A lot of people are saying it's the Tornado as well for the exact same reasons
