Mission 1 Arco AAR Airspeed Slow

[Hitman-vCSG3]

Just picked up the campaign. Looking forward to running the missions. On Mission 1 I attempted to refuel with Arco, but the C-130 was flying quite slowly at about 220 knots. At times it flies around 170 knots as seen in F2. Can the airspeed be increased? Are tankers in other missions set to similar speeds as well?

Thanks,

Don

I'll check, it shouldn't be like this, they should fly at 240 250.

This is fixed and an update will be submitted to ED.

Another observation: I contacted the KC-130 for refuelling after succesfully completing the objectives. When I joined up, the Hercules was starting to refuel one Tomcat and told me to hold off as another one was joining. My fuel was running low and when both Tomcats had completed refuelling after about 5 minutes, the Hercules packed up and flew home.

Shouldn't be the Hercules on station for a longer time?

(I managed to get back to the Tarawa and was just 100 to 200 lbs short of fuel: The engine quit when I started to transition sidewards on the carrier. Luckily I could hit ESC in time and end the mission without penalty.)

EDIT: My compliments on the mission design, the first one was an excellent and immersive start into the campaign!

This never happened to me. How much time you spent chasing those boats? I wonder how much fuel those Tomcats are taking from the Tanker, if they both get a full load, they may leave the tank dry.  

I'll look and see if I can instruct the Tomcat boys to leave some fuel for you.

Thanks for your quick reply! If it's not happened before, then it was just me, so don't invest much time in it.

I hadn't taken very long chasing the boats, probably I would have made it back without refueling. I will attach the track during the next days, just in case.

If you can convince the thirsty Navy boys to leave some fuel for the Corps, it'd be much appreciated
