I have the Harpoon Classic CD witht he 1.56d patch and I can't get
mid-air refueling to work. It has been said on this group that merely
including a tanker with the group will do it...but I can't find any
tanker's in any of the battlesets!

Is there a list of places that can be used as tankers? Is it only
available in some battlesets?

Actually, the tanker loadouts are only available in the first three original
battlesets, GIUK, NACV, MEDC. There aren't tanker loadouts in IOPG, or
any of the enhanced versions of the battlesets. I think when Three-Sixty
was producing them, they didn't have air-air refueling capability in Harpoon,
so they were wasting space having tanker loadouts, and dropped them.
Now that Alliance has added the functionality into the simulation, they've
made those first three battlesets interesting again. The in-flight refueling
can change the attack strategy quite a bit, keeping your carriers farther
out of harm's way, but, at the risk of having your air wing pretty far from
the safe air envelope around the CVBG.

Well, I only have 1.56c, but I have seen a number of aircraft that have
"tanker" loadout options.

Is this available on the net? I've only seen up to 1.56c.
