ruprecht Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Curious why the tanker would want to tank at such low level? Instinct is to go high to conserve fuel, and the air is smoother for refuelling. Is it just the assumption that the player is in the weeds after being defensive, and wouldn't have the fuel for an ascent?

baltic_dragon Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 That’s exactly it. Plus it reflects what happened in the novel. How did you like the mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the novel up to that point today, and now I get it. Wasn't aware of the fuel conserve profile which makes sense. Just completed M05 after getting schwacked the first time, and tanking with under 1000 lbs was intense. Really really well done. I need a drink and a lie down! I noticed on the tacview that the bandit actually shot at me first but I went defensive on the RWR spike and evaded the missile. He got Prince with the 2nd. Is that normal? Was I just too close to Prince and the missile maddogged onto me? Cannot wait to continue this, but doing 1 per day is all my old body can stand Really appreciate the kneeboard, it's great with VR Kneeboard, I don't have to come out of the headset the entire flight. 1 DCS Wishlist: | Navy F-14 | Navy F/A-18 | AH-6 | Navy A-6 | Official Navy A-4 | Carrier Ops | Dynamic Campaign | Marine AH-1 | Streaming DCS sometimes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 You probably were too close to Prince, yes. Happened to me several times but I left it in as possible scenario I use the VR Kneeboard too, it is fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teleblaster Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Yeah he actually nailed me in my second play through, I think because I was on his right wing. Started over and stayed on his left wing, same distance, and it didn’t happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
