Bobetta Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi all! I'm working on a training mission for the F/A-18 involving: - A/A refuelling - A/A BVR - A/A DOGFIGHT I would like to have some info on: - realistic altitude and speed for refuelling (KC-130, KC-135 MPRS and S-3) - best initial altitude and speed for A/A BVR and DOGFIGHT (all fighters: Su-27, Su-30, Su-33, MiG-29, M-2000, F-14, F-16, F/A-18 and JF-17) Thank you!

Jagohu Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 KC135: depending on the receivers, and loadout of the receivers - if it's purely F/A-18s in a training setup (not with a lot of bombs and stuff), then I'd say FL220-240 and IAS 275 kts for Navy guys. Watch out though as in DCS you don't set IAS, you set Ground Speed and they vary with the altitude. S3: if it's a recovery tanker then 10.000 ft, 275 kts. KC130: this is not my field of expertise, but i'd put it somewhere in between. They hardly fly above FL240 that I can say, so I'd put them down to FL160-180 and 250 kts IAS. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
