madcat911 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Not sure if this has been asked for before but I’d hope to see this implemented. Right now when one plugs into a tanker, the default is for fuel transfer until the receiver’s tanks are full. However, in reality, the receiver can request for the tanker to pass on a specific amount of gas. This would be useful for aircraft tanking before recovery on the boat to ensure they are not overweight. Yes, I know one can simply breakaway from the tanker when they’ve taken on enough gas but I don’t think that is realistic.

Tailhook Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) No thanks. Given into account how bad A LOT of people are at refueling, if I randomly disconnect I don't want to have to look back down at the fuel gauge and then flip through the comm menu to select a new amount or 'TOP OFF' every time. Switch the mechanics the other way around, someone could tell the tanker how much they want and then struggle to connect, then the whole specified amount thing is just pointless because they will then have to specify more fuel because they just burned more while trying to connect.

JagHond Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Even if I'm not proficient in refueling (yet ;)), for realism sake I'd love to get this. My one cent, of course. With best regards.

I don‘t think it would be a huge problem to implement it in a way so you request 4000 pounds and you get 4000 pounds regardles of how often you disconnect. And the fact that some people can‘t connect to the tanker isn‘t relevant for a „Simulation“ or we could just say remove the tailhook and the carriers because some people can’t land on the boat anyways. vCVW-17 / VF-74
