External Fuel tanks

Post by User2 »

While browsing DB viewer in the game I've noticed that RCS values of external fuel tanks are not specified.
Does it mean that currently external fuel tanks do not effect result RCS of an aircraft?

No,
in this game external tanks have huge impact on detection range of 5th Gen A/C.

Thanks for info, guys. I've tested it: the effect is definitely huge.

No way to manually jettison them yet, that I'm aware of. Would be nice so that a mission can start with tanks and then ditch them when they get close to hostile radars for stealthy config.
