Shenyang J-11, J-16, J-15, History, Performance & Discussion

well i cant really give a reason why they didnt give the J-16 the dual rack other than devs deemed 10x ARH good enough

Highly unlikely. I also have doubts that such a blurry picture would be accepted anyway.

Datamining shows they already played around with a similar twin pylon. Just no clue why the devs never put it on the dev server.


If we still don’t see it after the official update, that would be a shame.

It’s could just be a pl10 on inner and pl12 on outer pylons



I think there’s no other possibility.But all of this is just speculation based on images. Submitting an issue report won’t be accepted.

should be, but anti ground ammo are even more classified than AAMs.
here is a reference of related things.

Well atleast you could try.

Is there a clearer photo or a patent for these double racks? If not we’ll just need to pray for gaijin to give it to us like for eurofighters amraam double rack as well as su-35 double rack on non su-35 flankers or gold eagle quad rack to name a few, since missile count is one of the ways gaijin balances the planes.

would be funny to see the respons for the R-37M
since it is from around the same timeframe as well

Such powerful missiles are not in the game yet. PL-15 is not an exception.

of course

They already said no to that one, when the Sm2 was first added.

They said something along the lines of: “we have no plans for such weapons”.

pl-15 isnt added for the same reason f-22 isnt added despite being older than every 14.7. its not balanced.

I might be posting this in the wrong place, but is there a possibility that the Su-35 can carry the PL-12A?

considering the PL-12A doesnt really exist, no

Is it possible with the PL-12? Or PL-15?

no, afaik they never integrated Chinese weaponry on the SU-35
