Add to the Tanker Museum please.

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.

My Grandads aircraft taking on fuel. Experimental days. That one’s still submerged in Norway.

Can we have both please

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.

Airbus A-400M: Drogue Basket tanker so hornet friendly.

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.

KA-6D has planned by Heatblur as a AI unit with the A-6E module.

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.

I would love an old KC-707A

I suggested in the past for a AI super hornet that we could buddy refuel from for modern day naval operations.

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

+1 on this.
Simple things like this are what's needed to grow DCS and promote immersion in multiple different time periods. Trying to fly the F14A or F4 in a 70s or 80s timeframe and then going to tank with a re-engined KC-135 isn't ideal.
