Northstar98 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 + absolutely 1, very nice OP and it's a shame they've been left in this state. (Also, shouldn't the MPRS just be a loadout option for the KC-135? Instead of necessitating a dedicated aircraft? Come to think of it, wouldn't it be better if the drogue adaptor for the boom was also a loadout option?)

Yes, and at the same time enable refueling from both types without a separate aircraft. 1 Intel I9 10900k @5.1GHz | MSI MEG Z490 Unify | Corsair Vengeance 64GB - 3600MHz | EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 VPC T-50 Base /w Viper & Hornet Grip | VPC Rotor TCS Pro w/ Hawk-60 Grip | TM TPR LG C2 42" | Reverb G2 | TIR 5 | PointCtrl | OpenKneeboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Maybe a little OT but coming to think about it; why is the S-3B Tanker a dedicated aircraft? It's completely identical to the regular S-3B, just it's carrying a D-704 and an external fuel tank - both should just be loadout options of the regular S-3B. If DCS requires dedicated aircraft for refuelling, this might be a problem in the future for the A-6E, which even though it's not a dedicated tanker variant (that's the KA-6D) it can still equip the D-704 to be used in a tanker role. The Mirage F-1 we're getting can also equip a buddy store. If we were to ever get a Buccaneer well, that also can equip a buddy store too, as well as numerous others. It's going to be a royal pain if we're going to have to have dedicated duplicates to be used as tankers.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 8, 2021 ED Team Share Posted March 8, 2021 We have plans for improving air 2 air refuelling, but it is a massive task and will take time, I have no news for you other than it is something we want to do in the future when time permits. thank you 8 2 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

GumidekCZ Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 So its not W.I.P. as Title of this topic tells us: Or just lights are W.I.P.? "We have plans for improving" - plans to just do it, or plans what exactly need to be done or improved? Like if the standard hoose for first receiver will be finaly on the Right side, not left? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can, that's great and panic over - it just means we have unnecessary duplicate tankers which is messy and inefficient but not a game breaker for aircraft that can do other things as well as refuel other aircraft. It would be a royal pain if we for instance, had a separate, dedicated A-6E that can equip a D-704 and an A-6E with everything else, when the D-704 should just be a loadout option.

I hope that someone creates a flyable mod of the S-3 using that AI variant. Then for it to eventually be develop into a full fidelity module. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
