MBot Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 It would be nice if we could define a limit for each tanker how much fuel it will offload per tanking aircraft. Right now, AI receiver will always refuel to full tanks. This creates problems especially with smaller tankers with limited offload capability (such as the S-3 or the upcomming KA-6D). Usually the first AI to refuel will completely empty the tanker, leaving its wingmen to not receive any fuel at all and usually crash due to fuel starvation. It would therefore be useful if we could set the tanker to give only let's say 4000 lbs fuel (or watherever number the mission designer thinks is appropriate) per refuelling aircraft.

Sonoda Umi Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 +3 Also, there is a alternative option: setting Tanker unlimited fuel in default(but it can be canceled via game settings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 +4 Maybe an idea for a trigger condition, 'unit fuel remaining' and/or maybe 'unit fuel above' and 'unit fuel below' and/or 'unit fuel in range' and maybe an AI task 'restrict refuelling quantity' for tankers. This would allow you to control how much fuel gets transferred dynamically, with the maximum allowed reducing as the fuel in tanker drops. You could also get tankers to RTB or perform a refuel themselves (if they applicable) once their fuel remaining drops below a certain value.

Frederf Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 At least for human pilots an option to select how much to load before contact would be nice. F1. Request refuel to full F2. Request refuel to... F1. 10% F2. 20% F3. 30% F4. 40% F5. 50% F6. 60% F7. 70% F8. 80% F9. 90% F10. Equal to group leader F11. Back F12. Exit F3. Ready pre-contact F4. Abort refuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarnoman Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Definitely would like to see that. While on the topic of tankers, "Tanker entering a turn" as a radio transmission would also be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
