ST0RM Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Much of the time in combat, the AAR door over the probe was removed from the F-14. This was to prevent it from being torn off if it became tangled with the drogue and become engine FOD. Can we get this as an option? Additionally, the IRIAF Tomcats were nearly always seen with it removed. Link to post Share on other sites
DoorMouse Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 as in you have a big draggy open panel? I literally have never seen a tomcat like that. Can you post any pictures? Link to post Share on other sites

Swordsman422 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Especially during long missions with multiple aerial refuelings, the flimsy door fodding the engine was considered a bigger issue than any drag removal of the door might create.

Oesau Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Yes very common in the response to the iron maiden (KC-135 tanker fitting to the boom to allow drogue refueling). Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyMikey Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yes, I have also thought about this before. It would be great if we had this option either in the special options menu or in game through the ground crew menu. Link to post Share on other sites
