SamJM Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 I haven't put this in the bug section because it may have been something I did wrong rather than a bug. Towards the end of the mission over Venom I was getting very low on fuel and opted to hit the tanker on the way back even though I wasn't totally confident I would be able to take fuel before running out. When I got in formation with the tanker I used the "ready pre contact" radio option, but the tanker responded with something along the lines of "chicks in tow, one mile trail, 15000". I'm not 100% on this but I thought that meant it had other airplanes already trying to refuel and was asking me to wait in one mile trail? There were no other planes nearby at all though. I tried getting distance, getting right next to the basket and abort refuel and requested rejoin again and every time got the same reply. In the end with about 1000lb of fuel remaining I had to head to the carrier and hope for the best, skipping the pattern to get on deck in time. So did I do something wrong here, or could the tanker be bugged?
SamJM Posted July 25, 2021 Author Posted July 25, 2021 Just had the same thing at the end of mission 11 as well, not sure why
baltic_dragon Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Hey, yes - this is a DCS bug with AAR, the AI can't seem to stop refuelling. This has been reported.

SamJM Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 Great thanks, hopefully they don't take too long over it, mission 11 felt a little tight on fuel even without me staying to provide CAP at the end

Laureano Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 A bit of necroposting, but in case somebody is playing the campaign in 2024: I've just finished this mission and ran into the exact same bug. Thankfully I was pretty close to the carrier and was able to land on fumes.
