It's V/STOL. You fly into town and land it at the gas station. :P

 

Of course, you might need to add a little octane booster to the tank. :lol:

Eh, diesel should work okay, if you can find a heating oil truck, it would be better :)

Well, quite sure it will be a KC-130 ;)

 

Air refueling is available in DCS. The problem is a lack of air tankers. So far the only available ones are the IL-76 and the S-3 with buddy stores.

 

We are looking to incorporate a KC-130 with the AV-8B NA but we need to discuss this with ED.

I like your thinking! :lol: It's just a shame the fuel stations on land don't work though... That would make my day if I could just pull up, real casual and top up my fuel tank, mind you they're improving the Caucuses map so this can be my own personal dream - pretty please ED?

 

In all seriousness though I think something like a KC-130 would be perfect, but mind you, practically any western probe and drogue tanker would do...

 

Well, quite sure it will be a KC-130 ;)

Also be handy for having groups of M-1's and T-80's cover long distance :smilewink:

I would have to vote for the KC-130, just in case someone comes along with a CH-53E that happens to have a refueling probe on it. :music_whistling:

 

Mmmhmm, I know what you're on about :thumbup:
