Ok thx

Just a question why add the dual rack on the J15T and not for the J16? I mean even the su30sm2 there isnt a clear picture of it carrying dual rack for the r-77-1´s and it was still added

Not a Question I could answer officially by any means, only guess.

Yeah its not your fault the devs are Bias

Also how is the IRST on this thing, Is it still a MiG-29 copy paste?

devs probably wanted to hit the 10x ARH mark on the J-15T which was only possible with the dual racks, unlike on the J-16 which can carry 10x ARH on single racks only

But there is dual rack for alot of aircraft that doesnt have a picture with it

That is my problem


Mate, just your personal take — this is an air-to-air missile multiple-rack pylon, right? No problem with that?


This is the only lead I could find on the suspected twin Fox3 pylon… The original video is super blurry, but after comparing and modeling, the shape fits the J-15T twin pylon (and same hardpoint positions). Doubt the devs will accept it though.

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 at you could try.
