KingKenny04 Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 It seems to me like pretty soon here there will be an urgent need for a western tanker capable of P&D refueling. The Mirage is out, and we have the F-14, F/A-18, AV-8B, and Mirage F1 in the pipeline. The current KC-135 is capable of doing either boom or probe and drogue refueling, but that requires modification on the ground. To my knowledge, the current 135 in game is only capable of boom refueling. My thinking is that the KC-10A would solve this problem, as it can do both methods in the same flight. So has ED given any thought to this issue? In the grand scheme its probably not nearly as big a problem as a lot of other things ED has going on, but I'd like to think its something that's been talked about.
