correct as is KC-135MPRS does not take fuel from KC-135

[meltingSnowdrift]

Context

As far as I know, the KC-135MPRS has a refueling port with which it can accept fuel from a tanker with a boom. The KC-135 is a tanker with a boom. Therefore, a KC-135MPRS with less than full fuel should take fuel from a KC-135 when it is given the "refueling" task at a waypoint while the KC-135 is acting as a tanker. This is the behaviour that occurs for every other aircraft capable of taking fuel from a boom.

 

Procedure to reproduce

Run the attached mission file. It contains only AI units.

 

Expected behaviour

The KC-135MPRS takes fuel from the KC-135 after reaching waypoint 1.

 

Actual behaviour

The KC-135 proceeds to waypoint 2 as though it does not have a tanker from which to take fuel.

Reproduced.

Attached is a track comparing KC-135 and KC-135 MPRS tasked to refuel. KC-135 MPRS ignores the "Refueling" action.

KC-135 MPRS doesn't get refueled.trk

Only a very small number (8?) of USAF KC-135R were modified to have an AAR port. They are KC-135RT and used mainly for special operations. The majority of KC-135 are incapable of AAR.
