I chased the tanker yesterday trying to catch up, ended up overshooting it many times. Never ended up tanking, had to RTB because of bingo fuel status. In defense, I got a new throttle and stick system, so trying to learn that as well. Great videos though. Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you!!

It's one of those critical skills not practiced, which makes AAR so difficult. In real life, you won't go to a tanker until you're proficient in formation flying, which is a rarely used skill in DCS, unless you're getting into organised or group play online.
