Jonay Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 https://robertsonfuelsystems.com/defense/reduced-size-crashworthy-external-fuel-system-rcefs/?fbclid=IwAR3mEcoESTbC_Vt1zSET1yHZPsIcR9SOr5GD5sfxBBkrBCIW5uhYt8ReA0w It would be really great that once the internal Robbie tank is able to be replaced by (up to) 1200x30mm rounds, that we get the option of adding the 122gal RCEFS tanks to sit on outside, a perfect replacement for the internal tank. The current "torpedo" tanks are huge and unwieldy, and the 230gal capacity is a little too much for knife fighting in in most of the DCS user-base situations (one would hazard a guess at). Plus the look a bit better than having a canoe strapped to the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted August 7, 2022 ED Team Share Posted August 7, 2022 The RCEF wasn't in the US Army inventory during the time period being modeled, and isn't planned. 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

Jonay Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Yet we get a non-existent trim reset? Surely it just takes a quick remodel of the existing 230gal tank and edit the parameters to only accept 120gal and add it to the loadout options.

The former is a compromise due to the fact that players have a wide variety of hardware input devices and a completely true simulation of force trim cannot be implemented because of it. The latter has nothing to do with the limitations of simulating a helicopter on a personal computer, and is in the same category of why APKWS and Stingers are not being modeled; because the version of AH-64D being simulated is of a US Army AH-64D in the mid-2000's era. The comparison is apples and oranges. One of the reasons that DCS aircraft are targeted to very specific variants and time periods is because "feature creep" will prolong an already lengthy early access process of developing complex aircraft within DCS World. The complexities of which are greater than most players realize (myself included up until recently). 4 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

Mad Dog 762 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Could we get the newer 122 gal CRFS tanks in addition to the ferry tanks please?
