Tom P Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Can we please get something new that's not the same thing we have had for years. KC-10(Highly requested many times), KC-46, A330 MRTTs(MPRS style and used by many countries), YY-20. I'm sure others will chime in with other aircraft. Aerial Refueling has been crucial in aviation for decades, lets add some flavor for the community. Instead of the same thing over and over again. 6

Aerial Refueling has been crucial in aviation for decades, lets add some flavor for the community. Instead of the same thing over and over again. Just today I was looking for a C-5 Galaxy and found 'Military Aircraft Mod' https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3307071/ which contains KC-10. Until today I never noticed that plain and I noticed one more, a C-130. Let me tell you that I'm in love with KC-10 and I utterly hate C-130 how it looks and sounds.

Tom P Posted September 11 Author Posted September 11 Airbus A-400M: Drogue Basket tanker so hornet friendly. 2
Evoman Posted September 15 Posted September 15 I would also love to see some sort of flyable tanker in DCS. So far the only thing I know of that might potentially come down the pipe line is a KA-6D intruder. I had read somewhere that Heatblur would like to do the tanker variant of the A-6 if its possible. But that was back in 2021. Not sure what the current outlook might be. 2

KA-6D has planned by Heatblur as a AI unit with the A-6E module. 1 For Work/Gaming: 28" Philips 246E Monitor - Ryzen 7 1800X - 32 GB DDR4 - nVidia RTX1080 - SSD 860 EVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 2 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Warthog / TPR / MDF
Tomcatter87 Posted Thursday at 08:01 AM Posted Thursday at 08:01 AM Agreed, additional tankers would be great. KC-10, but also british Tankers like Tristar and Victor would be awesome. For 1980s naval ops, the KA-6D is desperately needed. Heatblur teased that one about seven years ago... And according to Dave "Hey Joe" Parsons, it was the tanker Tomcat crews mostly refueled from. 2 "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return." Check out my DCS content on Instagram

A KA-6 would be sweet too for cold war naval ops and using the in-game CVN Forrestal.
