Gierasimov Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Will the S-3B come with tanker version as well?

joey45 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 They said (years back) that it will come with the new basket physics.. 3 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

LooseSeal Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The news on George/Petrovich target ID is fantastic, especially that it's more in depth than merely instant identification Does this line "the presence of the vehicles in a coalition" mean that if there are also, for example, T-72s in your coalition and also the enemy coalition then it will take longer to ID them? Sounds awesome if so! 1 - i7-7700k - 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz - GTX 1080 8GB - Installed on SSD - TM Warthog DCS Modules - A-10C; M-2000C; AV8B; F/A-18C; Ka-50; FC-3; UH-1H; F-5E; Mi-8; F-14; Persian Gulf; NTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I hope work on AI VID continues, and not only for George/Petrovich, but also for non-player aircraft. Realistically limiting their SA, particularly when spotting air targets, would be a gamechanger. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right - hopefully they're developing the tech in such a way that it can be implemented into the AI more wiely. AI air-to-air and air-to-ground spotting based on the criteria outlined in the newsletter would truly make it 'game-changing'. 1 - i7-7700k - 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz - GTX 1080 8GB - Installed on SSD - TM Warthog DCS Modules - A-10C; M-2000C; AV8B; F/A-18C; Ka-50; FC-3; UH-1H; F-5E; Mi-8; F-14; Persian Gulf; NTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, having a separate 'tanker version' is more of a DCS-ism, IRL there is no 'tanker version' it's just a regular S-3B loaded with a buddy store. I'm guessing the reason why DCS treats the 2 as completely separate (when really, the buddy store should just be a loadout option) is due to some aerial refuelling limitation. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Yeah I know, KS-3A was the early variant but S-3B gained "K" through the buddy store. Maybe I should phrase my question differently but it stands. I saw no mention or screenshot of S-3B configured for AAR. 1 Intel i7-13700KF :: ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 :: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB :: MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X Trio :: VKB Gunfighter MK.III MCG Ultimate :: VPC MongoosT-50 CM3 :: non-VR :: single player :: open beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, while it's theoretically just another loadout option, IRL they generally reserve specific airframes to be tankers, and the buddy store typically stays attached to them. They may not be different from the other S-3s, but the buddy pod does get special treatment IRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when we get the A-6E, if we get the ability to mount buddy stores, it'll be a pain if we have to have 2 separate entries to support the tanker role, despite them doing things like this: Edited May 13, 2022 by Northstar98 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Dragon1-1 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Depending on how old the AAR code is, it might not be feasible to rework it. It may date back to LOMAC, which would make it old enough to possibly make it necessary to essentially implement it anew. As such, I doubt we'll get buddy stores as loadout options, and certainly not for the player. We'd just have to deal with it being two separate aircraft types.

Well, it probably is pretty old though it's hardly the only thing. FWIW that's not the only limitation of it either, such as it not supporting multi-type refuelling - which is already a problem for our MPRS equipped KC-135R. We are however, getting more off-topic now (though I was the one who brought it up).
