Deliverance, tanker offload rates using wing pods shoud be around 600 kg/min for the GR4, 800 kg/min for the F-18 and an even higher rate for Rafale.

But Typhoon is indeed rather slower...

Of course the receiver won't gain fuel at the same rate as the tanker offloads it, due to the receiver's own burn rate.
