this is a J-11D prototype iirc, not a J-11B, provide an image of a J-11B with underbelly dual PL-12 racks, or one with a reliable source, and where do you get 10+2 from? it would still be 8+4, it can’t have PL-12’s on the outermost wing pylons that are not PL-8B
edit, I’m pretty sure it is not J-11D, ye it’s not and those are bomb racks, not PL-12 racks

It’s indeed a J-11B, specifically the prototype for the J-11B Block 02 if I recall correctly, definitely not the J-11D - the SU-30SM is getting things it never carried in real life because other jets of similar category got them, so I don’t see a issue here nonetheless.

Just a typo, it would be 8x PL-12s and 4x PL-8Bs, the total amount of missiles would still be correct (that being 12), I was thinking about the SU-30SM whilst typing that.
I am almost certain those are bomb racks. Unfortunate, but that is the way it is.
ye i was thinking of a different yelo flanker that was in a similar angle to this, only after looking at the image again did i see it was J-11B, but i don’t think we should add fake pylons for the sake of why not i’d be happy with good PL-8B and good PL-12
i’d be happy with good PL-8B and good PL-12
A loadout of 6x PL-12s isn’t really a meta thing and especially at around 14.0, It’d prefer a slightly ahistorical loadout like nearly every other nation is getting at this point, or the PL-12A at the very least.
The J-11B should’ve honestly been added a while ago, we should’ve gotten the J-15 this update to match the F/A-18.
Su-30SM and Su-27SM belly racks should get removed, but that is no reason to fabricate loadouts for our own jet.
That, I agree with.
We’ll have to wait and see gaijins interpretation after someone inevitably submits a bug report.
Run the tests closer to 660-700 kmh, I find the su-27 loves to rate at those speeds, might make a little difference but yea the su-30 is going to be a 1 circle god and should not rate very well unless we get the sm2 upgrade
At high speeds the su-27sm gets even better due to the power (compared to the other flankers), so I assume it would be the same case for the j11b.
I wrongly assumed the su30sm had similar or stronger engines than the 27sm. Thats why I thought it would get buffed and since it is already powerful enough right now I was worried
Some Su-30sm use the Blue afterburner others don’t. So that indicate better engine. But what engine? its unknow. Also Su-30sm should be able to use 177c(AL-41 equivalent) engine. Literally every flanker can use them. Its a matter if Russia will stop making AL-31fp and instead field 177c.
