Jet Fuel

I thought of a way to potentially have a jet fuel system.

1. Make an automatic weapon (invisible) that has a lot of recoil and doesn't shoot anything beyond a certain distance to simulate the possibility of getting burned (it has limited ammo to simulate a jet fuel reserve)

2. Place it towards the back of the jet, it should fire out of the center of the engine

2. Disable the jet engine's thrust (leave the engine there for effects)

3. Program the gun to fire in correspondence with the throttle setting

My question is, is there a way you can set the recoil or rate of fire using your throttle on a joystick or is this hardcoded?

Lastly, we will need a KC-135 or something if larger maps are to be made.

That would seem to me to be the problem, unless someone knows otherwise.

and why do we need a jet fuel system? The impact on gameplay would be very small, probably something most wouldn't even notice. Unless of course you want to make it so that jets need to refuel every 2 minutes, which would just be a pain in the ***.

Limited fuel has come up several times before.

Taking into account the range of the viechles in PR and the size of the battlefield it is somewhat unrealistic.
