Hi guys!
I don't play Harpoon since a lot of time. After the last emprovements of the game, from which database is possible to use air refuelling?

All of the modern databases allow air to air refueling. It is more a question of which battlesets do air to air refueling and most of them do except the oldest once. So if you are playing in the EC2003 or newer battlesets air to air refueling is present (and in most of the others). This really hasn't changed since before HC97. Where you couldn't refuel then you still can't now, the mechanism just works a little more reliably now.

Ah ok, so I suppose that the first and second battlesets don't allowa air refuelling. It's allowed from HDS1 or HDS5?

I'll eventually give it a try when I find some time, if you do so first, holler back with your results.

Taking a quick look, there are tanker loadouts available in the original GIUK, NACV, and MEDC battlesets for some aircraft, and they work. There do not appear to be any such loadouts, or dedicated tanker aircraft, in any of the Designer's Series battlesets. The EC2000, EC2003, and all subsequent battlesets have tanker loadouts for many tactical aircraft, as well as dedicated tanker aircraft. EC2003 an subsequent battlesets make use of databases such as the HCDB. These databases are independent of the battleset, and can be modified by the user, so if you've always thought that, say, a 747 would be a fine tanker aircraft, you can make one and try it out ... :-)
