scottb613 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi Folks, Question - how do I use tankers for air-ops ? Do I include the tankers with a strike package ? Do I stage them at the half way point ? Any help appreciated... Regards,Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi Scott, no, I would not include them into the strike package. Place them at strategic points, guarded from hostile units. There meet them with your strikers and manually refuel the strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi JSF, Ahh - OK - makes sense... I've really searched both the manual and the forums - no joy - so - umm - err - how do you actually initiate the air to air refueling ?

scottb613 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi JSF, Oh - I figured it out - just use the air-ops button - never mind... Regards, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi Scott, never mind. Just ask if there´s an issue. Which scenario are you currently playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb613 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi JSF, Appreciate that... I'm playing Harpoon ANW - Sea of Okhotsk - USA vs USSR - with the HUD4 database - full realism... As a Cold War submariner - an area that seems like home... I'm a ways into it and doing quite well - must have knocked out 40 enemy planes - and - one Akula... Lost 3 Tomcats due to stupidity but that's my only loss... I really haven't played in ages - I forgot just how far out I needed my CAP - started at 120 miles - way too close - the enemy missiles where launched well beyond that range and all I could do is react... Moved my CAP out to around 220 miles - much easier now - I get them before launch.... How can you go wrong with a battle group with two aircraft carriers ? LOL - I still haven't entered the Sea of O but only time will tell... Regards, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
