J16 first impressions (oh boy, here we go again)

They always appear to lay the basis for it (like naming early variants of so many vehicles) and then never follow through

How many of most vehicles in warthunder are in service?

The double pylons on the fuselage, seen since the Su-27SM and also on the Su-30SM, are something of a “what-if” scenario , only the Su-35 and Su-30SM2 actually use them.

Yeah personally i dont really mind the what ifs, its not like only the russian tech tree benefits from them, eurofighter aesa radar for one example

I think while contentious the double r77 pylon is fine for the base su27sm has meh radars and the base r77s arent great

And then if the su27 gets it no real reason to omit it from the su30sm

What if the Chinese tech tree was worth grinding 🤔?

so we are ignoring the very real double pylons of the J-15T

That has nothing to do with “what-if”.
That’s just basic documentation understanding.
Double pylons on F-15, Flankers w/ modern avionics, & Chinese aircraft all are not “what if”.
It’s just documents they found that shows things.
