I mean one flanker (su-35) does get them double racks, but the fact they’re on the su27sm and su30 are fictional
And it’s still far more real than Dual R-77 pylons on the 27 or 30SM, or the KH-38MT at all. So as long as those get to be in-game, no reason not to have these, flat out
If you consider that mockups is far more real than nothing, yes
LOL
The racks on the picture are mockups for showcasing the proposed configuration, as far as I know functional ones haven’t been actually developed and tested so yes, mockups
I still understand your point, but I’d rather have the russian racks removed
Well there you go bud.
Find me a source saying these are operational, were tested etc. The only thing I’ve ever found was statements on it being “proposed” by boeing
Which is about as much if not less than something like the F-15SE
And btw I don’t think the F-15EX getting 22 or 24 missiles instead of 12 is exactly the same as the flankers getting 12 missiles instead of 10
Both are inaccurate but the gameplay impact is not quite the same
There is patent on it. should be more than enough.
BTW, it needs only one data-bus, theres almost nothing that limits it from fielding on aircraft.
The belly dual racks are literally sdb quad racks bro
Those are NOT for amraams
We have no info on actual racks
…
just would leave it here.

Release clearance could be an issue.
Well if it’s actually functional then… You’re the first one to give further proof than just posting that one picture
Not sure it’d be balanced tho
Like, imagine 22 missiles bruh
we already have 14(?) missiles on Su-30SM. not that far away tbh
True, whatever anyway it’s not like balance is a thing at top tier
22 missiles would look fun at least
you would never really want to bring the full loadout because it would be very draggy and make your turning radius much larger, but would still be a fun gimmick

It’s more to have a more A2A options when carrying mixed ground loads.
Being able to carry 12 x AIM-9/AIM-120 and a metric load of GBU-53s is going to be very appealing. And frankly it’s just meeting what the Su-30SM can already do.
fine enough
They just have to make 6x GBU-53 launchers and clear stations 1 and 9 for heavier a2g loads and EX is perfect multirole
Not sure that’d be possible though
Putting that much load on outer pylons would require some really strong wing structure
