Why can't the Su-33 and Su-27 carry two rockets pods/bombs on these weapon stations?

Hello,

 

For a while I have been wondering why the Su-33 and Su-27 can not carry two rocket pods or bombs on weapon stations 3 and 8 (Su-27)/ 3 and 10 (Su-33) in Flaming Cliffs and now DCS World. The real Su-33 seems to be capable of carrying two S-25s and S-8 rocket pods on these stations:

According to KNAAZ's website, the Su-27SKM can also carry those rocket types in such a configuration, in addition to the S-13 and various FAB-500/RBK-500 bomb types:

Likewise, additional numbers of FAB-250s can be carried which can not be done in DCS World. I realize the Su-27SKM is different from the original S and SK, though seeing that the Su-33 can utilize such pylons I would think the original Su-27S could also well.

 

I would greatly enjoy being able to carry the extra bombs/rockets while flying the Su-27/Su-33 in game. Does Eagle Dynamics plan on adding this pylon in game at some point? If not, perhaps someone can make the 3D model and texture and submit it to Eagle Dynamics? I am sure many DCS World Flanker pilots would appreciate it. :)
