@CyrusJackson You responded to the wrong person as well.
I made no claims that Su-27SM is accurate, so there is no burden of proof on I.
The burden of proof is on those claiming it’s correct, not on those of us that are skeptical.
There has been evidence proving Su-30SM is newer and shares familiarity with Su-35 avionics though.
The reason Su-30 got brought up by someone else to begin with, was because someone misunderstood the dual R-77 situation.
Su-35 is older than Su-30SM, and both use the underlying Flanker airframe… at least above and between the engines.
F-15C GE is older than the Boeing MRML showcase, which is older than F-15EX and so forth.
F-15C GE shares certain upgrades with the F-15EX(Talon IRST, EPAWSS ECM) but that doesn’t mean it’s capable of using the MRML on the outer wing pylons because the wiring was never added there.
Furthermore, the F-15EX wings are strengthened since they originate from the F-15E. I’m not certain the F-15C airframe could even handle the outer wing pylons MRML(Probably why MRML are mounted on the inner wing pylons on the F-15C demo plane). There’s a lot more to a plane than simply updating some avionics.
Just because the Su-30SM is newer and has some avionics in common with the Su-35 isn’t proof at all that it can mount and use the double pylons. As said, if you have hard data about the Su-30SM ability to mount them, present them, otherwise, let’s just stop there and focus on the topic at hand, the F-15C GE. Thank you.
outer wing pylons have existed on the F-15 for a very long time, however F-15s without FBW system become too unstable to fly when using them, so they were unused until the EX
Point being, if people found enough info that the MRML was backported to the F-15C GE, then that’s all that’s needed to add it in-game as long as Gaijin is okay with that. Many aircraft in WT have weapons or avionics that were part of later modernization programs after their introduction. One example being the 2003 JHMCS used by the F-15C MSIP in War Thunder.
Can you finally stop spouting nonsense? People working on the Su-30SM in real life told you that this pylon can’t be installed on the Su-30SM because the Su-35’s engine spacing is greater than on all other Flankers. There was even a report that the pylon’s size in the game is smaller than in real life. But you continue to spout nonsense, arguing that… “WELL, THE SU-30SM IS YOUNGER THAN THE SU-35, SO IT COULD.” Okay. The F-15K is older than the F-15EX, so I’m expecting the Taurus and SLAM to be used on the F-15EX.
No one has found any sources that the dual pylon for the Su-27SM and Su-30SM is real; the gaijin just introduced it because the Su-27SM had terrible statistics.
Comprehensive performance includes gameplay, flight performance, missile performance, and everything that affects the overall gaming experience, not just comprehensive flight performance.
The Su-30/27SM uses the RLPK-27VEP integrated fire control system, which is inconsistent with the Su-35. There is no documentation indicating what the RLPK-27VEP expands upon. It is an upgrade from the Su-27.
The developers have clarified regarding the number of missiles.
There were several versions of the aircraft, of which we have an earlier version, and the presence of additional missiles has not been confirmed on this version thus far. The devs will also monitor the aircraft’s effectiveness and then decide further if more changes are required.
