Two questions about the flanker:

[dundun92]

1. Why can we only carry 2 ETs? Is this a RL restriction or a sim restriction? Because I would certainly fly with 4 -73s and 6 ETs.

 

2. If you have a target locked in EOS, and u want to launch, say, an ER. Do you have to unlock it from EOS, then re-acquire in radar?(because that is downright annoying) Or is there a simpler way?

1. Real life. The Ts take forward sliding racks. That leaves the rocket smoke close to the plane which can be harmful if ingested by by the engines. Therefore only two racks can carry the pylons necessary without risking smoke ingestion by engine. This is in comparison to the radar guided ones which only take ejector racks.

 

2. If locked with EOS, just fire the radar guided. You’ll see the illumination symbology turn on.

Ah, makes sense now. Thank you!
