when your right your right.
the Goal of Buddy stores is too increase the range of a force of combat aircraft by topping off there tanks, using a combination of the two could do that if the aircraft could
one: carry enough fuel too preform the mission, In example I know that some long strike missions of F/A18 E/F's will fly three armed Super hornets and one pure buddy stores topping off the tanks of it's wingmen as they go.
Two: Increase Time of loiter well the Aircraft wait for the deck too Clear.
If a Vtol Carrier Were Too Carry buddy stores F35B's and V22's Then It could both send aircraft too engage targets beyond there internal fuel capacity and even top off the tanks of the buddy enabling a much longer striking range maybe about the same as conventional carriers?
Adding such a capability for the V22 is on Boeing's things too do list. if such were added too conventional carriers it would also increase there capacity in terms of range and not only would a Tanker-osprey be a boost too naval Air fixed wing but rotor-wing as and Land forces Rotor-wing's too as the Probe and drogue used by the US navy and Marines is the only method I know of for air too air Refuel of helicopters.
