[REPORTED] Jet not refuelling to 12000 fuel if tanks are attached before refuel.

Not really sure if this is a bug or not, and not to sure if its been reported. Because I wouldn't know how to word it. But, I found a bug if you rearm a low or empty F-16, and you attach fuel tanks without refueling first. After the tanks attach.it automaticly put it to 72% internal fuel in the rearm window. you only get around 8300 gas with both drop tanks attached if you set the fuel to 100%, The way I fixed this was by removing the tanks, and then putting them back on to get back to 12000 fuel.

This has been an issue for a very long time and applies to all aircraft AFAIK. You simply can't refuel your external tanks. Only solution, like you said, is to remove them and then attach a new one.

Yeah F/A-18 has suffered with this problem for awhile now. Any time I refuel with a centerline tank on that aircraft it never fills more than 800-1000 pounds of fuel. Thus any time I fly the centerline I punch it off when the centerline is empty to reduce drag and a bit of weight. This forces the new tank on after refueling and gets around the problem as well. Unfortunately until S-J is programmed into the 16 this isn't as nice of a solution as it is on the 18.

 

Odd part about this issue is it isn't consistent among players. I have a buddy who flies the F/A-18 as well and never sees this problem.

Just FYI it is possible to punch the external tanks off now on the Viper - I mean it does reset your Master Mode to NAV which is a little annoying thou lol. 1 step forwards, 2 steps backwards..:)
