kimkiller Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes I think it is. Even newer and non russian helicopters have it like the NH90 for example. But how often it is used i do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin1234 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I have two question. It Is planned for the future that the Mi-8 carry the internal fuel tank? If the first is possible, is capable the Mi-8 with this internal fuel tank supply fuel to another unit (I guess should carry also a fuel pump to do this job)??? Probably this addon become the most useful. If I get bingo fuel and not possible reach the base I land on road and one Mi-8 can supply the fuel to get the base (landing 100 m from my airplane) Here a photos examples: Edited July 22, 2015 by pepin1234 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The KA50 can fit them, I see no objection to the MI8 fitting them as well. That is, if it's coded in the MI8 to start with.

pepin1234 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 With internal fuel tanks you can remain in battlefield with your weapons payload pylons. After supply the unit with fuel on road you can stay in combat. With the external fuel tank is not possible that cuz you are using the pylons for the fuel tank [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaOneSix Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 We use the internal auxiliary fuel tanks fairly often, and sometimes we just leave them in for extended periods of time if we think we're going to need them and not need a lot of cargo/passenger space. An extra internal tank adds about an hour of flight time to the aircraft. It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure that it's something that would be used with a lot of regularity. I mean, sure some people enjoy four-hour long missions without refueling, but I think that's a minority, and it is quite heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaOneSix Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 None of our aircraft are equipped for external stores, so I can't speak to that. We actually do have crates with the external stores systems and external fuel tanks, but we've never mounted them. Our job is strictly cargo and passengers.

It is normal don't use the internal fuel tank in real life at peace time. The problem is when we go into combat with a fixed wing unit, in some situation is really difficult do RTB in bingo fuel. In MP some times we have to land on road because fuel is over and when we landed on road and we try to get a new aircraft to go into combat again we get a death plus, this is unfair because we still remain alive. The Mi-8 could help us in this... Q: The Mi-8 can supply fuel if carry internal fuel tank with a fuel pump?? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaOneSix Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Q: The Mi-8 can supply fuel if carry internal fuel tank with a fuel pump?? If a fuel pump was implemented somehow, you could supply fuel even without an internal fuel tank. I don't see how the two are related, other than the fact that having an internal fuel tank give you a lot more fuel. But that seems to imply that the "fat cow" aircraft (the one with all the extra fuel) is just going to park somewhere and not be part of the action, but instead just waiting for other aircraft to come by and give them fuel, sort of like a mobile FARP.

Slazi Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Would it be possible to make a script to refuel other aircraft? Or at least, aircraft / vehicles that could be refueled by the Mi-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is an internal fuel tank is better for performance flight and allow use the external pylon for rockets etc, just in case of emergency defense at the moment of logistic support...

Well this two fuel tanks could be in the rearm menu in game, so we can do a logistic support task whenever is needed. I think the Mi-8 is a multitask chooper.

King_Hrothgar Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's been stated many times that 1.5 is going to be the next real update. The only updates before then are hotfixes for critical issues such as CTD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
