Aircraft loadouts
This is a query, not a criticism, because for all I know it may be game policy, but it strikes me that some of the more modern aircraft loads are on the low side. The only example I have in front of me is the Su-30 (OOb 11, Units 236 & 242), which has a maximum load of just over 3000kg. Most of my sources (Jane's, Bill Gunston) give 4000-6000 kg, even for earlier versions of the Su-27.
Wondered whether it might be a pylon thing, but the Su-27 series has 10 pylons, and a max in game of 6 underslung weapons. It's not restricted to ex-Warpac kit; the Greek Mirage 2000 (Oob 31, Unit 548) carries a miserly 2000 lb (1000kg) load, where a standard real-life load gets up to 3000kg. OK, I'm not allowing for refuelling tanks, but then I suspect that neither would the game.
Thoughts please.
