AAR Refuling speed

I have a test scenario with two Herclues tankers and one KC-135

One Hercules refuels one 2-flight in seconds. (Tanker 1)

The time it takes to refuel a 2-ship for the KC-135 and the other Hercules seems more reasonable, however the time it takes is the same and since the Hercules (Tanker 3) has wing drouges and the KC-135 has only one centerline drouge, shouldn't it be about twice as fast for the Hercules?

v 1706

Hi, this is WAD. For quality of life reasons just like an aircraft with a single boom can refuel all of the aircraft in a flight at the same time

Hi, yes true but a bigger flight still takes longer to refuel assumably to simulate them queuing up for the single boom.
It would make sence if a tanker with more refueling stations could get the job done faster.

The main problem though is the tanker that offload 14 000kg of fuel in 10s. Someting weird is going on there
