Last night after bombing some targets I went to the tanker. Filled up the tanks completely and was heading home. There was another 33 in the server that was low on fuel and had no hope of a safe return to either the carrier, base, or tanker and it got me thinking. How awesome would it be for the 33's to load up a refueling pod? I've seen the 33 refueling another 33 in real life videos so I'm just curious if there is any plan to implement this? I would love to wait on the deck ready to scramble to gas up thirsty birds having trouble getting on deck.

would be amazing. but maybe a bit too effort for a non clickable cockpit? idk, im only flying su33 these days but dont like fc3 too much.

Why too much effort? A button or two more to get the buddy-fueling noze out and in and operational.

 

That is after all one of the important features of the Su-33.

Well I would love to see implemented in F-18C as well since the Hornet can buddy fuel too, but even with a non clickable it would be awesome!

Wrong. The Hornet © is not able to carry the refueling pod. The Super Hornet (E) though can.

Definitely would be an awesome addition! I would even pay for an add-on Buddy Refueling pod before paying for a Garmin 430 GPS! :pilotfly:

 

I would even be inclined to pay for such a thing as well. It's a shame that I am not good at doing these things myself lol

I still think this is a great idea mot only for 33 to 33, but for mirage and in the future for the hornet.

 

The canister it's similiar...or not?
