Double pylons = 2 missile per pylon?
I get you they would have a single pylon instead
Is it actually incapable or is this just a “it never used them” type of deal.
That was a balancing decision and one that will make the Su-35 the jet that uses double pylons feel less special.
They were designed for Su-35 and Su-27M to my knowledge and not Su-30
the thing with the current Su-27SM is the following:
it has the Upgraded enigines + the N001VEP which were only used on the Su-27SM3
the Su-27SM3 has the 2 extra wing pylons like the Su-33 for example
so they just went the lazy route by giving us the 2 extra missiles through the double pylons, instead of making a new 3d model

Su-27M are the first Su-35’s build in the 90tys ( Su-37 is also part of them), the current Su-35 that is in service is the Su-35S
ik to most ppl it dosent make a difference, but i have seen a few ppl on here that were very pedantic about it

i hate it when people say Su-35 because that refers to aircrafts of the Su-27M program (the T-10M’s) and not the current Su-35S which has nothing in common with the T-10M’s except the single seat and manufacturer
ik, it’s retarded, still, that doesn’t help at all with the R-77 and R-77-1 drag
2, they still exist as single pylons.
I said that after I had a thought about it.
Sry failed to read quickly enough:(
My fault for being dumb, it’s a nonsense argument from me 2 missiles wont make any difference. I’m just a little salty as a British main right now ha ha

seems a lot of british mains are salty :) (preparing for salt blast)
i would also want 2 extra amraams on the EF as a german main

the truly sad part was in the leaklist where the R-27EA was mentionned as under consideration, implying gaijin does not wanna fix the drag of the R-77 and R-77-1 and would rather add a missile with only a mockup built rather than fix their shit

I was gonna play Britain but decided against it cause I wanna play Ho229. I get it EF sucks a bit Rn, but I think F15E need to go 14.7for these C5s if they have real life range.
We are having a rough time of it with this update ha ha
The missiles will be good/great but the airframe can’t defend like the Eurocanards can and that’s why it shouldn’t be higher.
This should really being the F-15E back into some form of the meta. If the missiles do become lethal and impossible to defend then yeah it will need to go up.
it was always meta, being able to launch missiles earlier with much more energy, plenty of time to get in the notch and lots of chaff to help

I think before Typhoon and Rafale it was the best jet in the game for what felt like a long time.
The Gripen couldnt deal with it’s speed and power
The J-10 is not a BVR machine
Su-27SM was just all out suffering
and the Mirage 2000 was better suited to playing as a rat.
But as predicted when the Eurocanards Typhoon and Rafale came they dominated the F-15E, Typhoon made F-15s play style a liability they had the same missiles and Typhoon was superior kinematically.
Rafale blew everything away and subsequent buffs have only increased the gap from anything else.
F-15E will be good with these missiles but it really depends on how hard they are to defend.
I’m surprised we don’t have an F-15C with the improved engines and an AESA Radar in game now.
