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 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.

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”.
