An Air to air refuelling question

[marauder648]

'ere, for a air to air refuelling aircraft, would it give fuel from its own tanks or would it have to use liquid cargo in combination with the hoses?

It makes more sense for fuel to be transferred from huge tanks than from liquid storage.

well, in real life tankers don't have the distinction.. all their tanks can be used for either refueling or to supply their own engines.

as far as BT goes, i myself don't know, but we have a canon refueling aircraft in the Stork support vehicle, which suggests a place you can look to find out.

Good point, I forgot about the Stork, most useful :)

I thought I read somewhere on the boards that different engine ratings/tech levels/etc require different fuel.  If so would you fluff that as your SV aero using multiple refueling drogues with different liquid containers?  I made a SV conventional plane that uses four different ones for different types of aircraft to refuel (I prob need to check and make sure I didn't go over on item slots though)
