Air Refueling in WOV

[SJPhantom 0]

So I went and did it. Mig 21 was getting the best of me and I jettisoned my tanks. I know...never get into a turning fight with a Mig, but I did, and he buggered out. I didn't get him, but on the way home, I happened to notice (Situational Awareness) that I was extremely low on fuel.

 

As I flew on, I checked the manual, and asked Red Crown for help.....no siree, things are looking not so good. I took my trusty F4 and beat feet to the water whereupon I very nicely pulled my face curtain on my Martin Baker and ejected into the South China Sea.

 

Was there some sort of way that I could have gotten a KC-135 on station to give me some more go-go juice and make it RTB?

 

When I got aboard the Jolly Green I kept thinking that I should have taken that class the Wing Commander was giving on Fuel Management.

 

Yeah, I'm still a green rookie pilot, even at 45.

 

So if any of you know the coordinates to the flying Citgo's, lemme know, that way I can skip that class the Wing weinies are giving on how to save fuel.

No A2A refueling isn't modeled in the game. Some people are working on a way to do it though via 3rd party means.

 

But even then it will be a scripted mission with no ability to call in a tanker.

Yeah...too bad, guess I'll have to take the class huh?

There are some interesting ideas around this prob, we will see how the solution looks.

Was always wondering if there is a way to write up an ini that can use some kind of a "reverse" technique with the the fuel tank jetison and have it setup to attach to a refueler and then allowed to detach after all tanks read green.
