F-14 Combat Refueling

I've been a pretty consistent lurker here since Leatherneck/Heatblur announced they were developing the Chariot of the Gods and I don't think I've seen this link posted before.

 

 

Anyway...

 

 

I found this footage while trolling YouTube and waiting for my laundry to finish. It's nothing terribly exciting, but I enjoyed watching it in any case. I believe the Tomcats are from VF-211.

 

 

Can't pretend fly as well as you can.

I was recently listening to an interview with an F-14 pilot who said refueling was tricky in the Tomcat because the probe was behind the pilot's head, so he had to look backwards to see if he was catching the bucket. Obviously, this would screw you up, so it was primarily the job of the RIO to guide the pilot into contact. This should add an interesting element to multiplayer. Equally, I wonder how Jester handles it.

Doesn't seem to be the case in DCS:

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

 

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Thanks for the vid, forgot about that. It might be a peripheral vision issue then that I misheard as it being out of his field of view. He was saying that it was awkwardly placed for the pilot to the point that if he looked at it, he missed it, so the RIO would guide him in.
