How about a 2nd set of inis with the pods set up as fueltanks ?

The pod holds 300 gal of fuel .. would be somewhat more usable then instead of gunpods without guns ;D

You're probably right. On the other hand - the bdoug-pod exists for years now and nobody really cared that is was set up as a gunpod ever since...

[+Nyghtfall 2,154]

added new version that contains both versions - set up as gunpod and tank

[+Crusader 2,101]

The original setup as gun pod - it comes from the very early SF times when we had no NoJettisonTank function but had to prevent

AI from jettison the refueling pod.

And nobody realized that the pods also hold fuel, and not just the hose drum and hydraulics.

Now...on to fly more fake tanker missions
