A) yes, the new version will let you spawn your own in their places
B) I've got pretty alright at it after some practice, it's much easier on the slower-moving KC-130. The way to go is to set your main control surfaces on AG8 so that when they deactivate (and lock position) there is only a small control surface left so you can make finer adjustments. I inverted whilst on the drogue (after doing the hard bit), and it's very hard to hold it there for extended periods!
@WNP78
Nice! Those new tankers look sweet! Altough I have two questions: A: Can I change out the tankers that spawn in the mod with one of my own tankers? B:HOW ARE YOU REFUELING UPSIDE-DOWN!? I mean it's hard enough for me to follow the tanker and attempt at getting the probe anywhere near the basket!
@Notaleopard
More like a flying humpback humping the C-130 tanker...
Also it's not an Antonov. I mean it kind of looks like the Myasishchev VM-T, but it's a fictional aircraft derived from Texasfam04's GS-1 Globalstrike bomber. I originally made a hugely improved version used as a mothership/test bed for carrying some of my experimental weapons and air-launched drones. Since its such a great platform, I'm going to expand and make more variations of it such as a firefighter variant, cargo variant, tanker variant, and a "special/over-sized cargo" variant, which is the one your seeing in the picture.
@WNP78 Do You Have Tankers For Install ?
@WNP78 oof
I'm not the best at it, but it could have gone worse

It's a good job you failed - If you're on 1.8 (and I think 1.7 too maybe) then the refuelling is broken. Don't worry, I'm working on it
This is tanker abuse!

@Notaleopard
It's basically kind of like the Airbus Beluga or the Boeing 747 LCF, except this is derived from a B-52-like bomber.
But yea it does kind of look like a jet-powered Lockheed Connie.

@Aeromen
Do you mean the Lockheed Constellation?
Same
Here we see a Antonov trying to Mate with a C-130
