SonofEil Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Pylons have been removable since the Hornet's first or second update back in Spring 2018.

DLEGION Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 ...and seems there is no drag modeled for them, so no "speed bump" … because you're already going as you have no pylons at all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it (modelling for drag with/without) was on the 'to do' list pretty much from the day removing them was enabled as an option. No idea if it was ever done though.

Preendog Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Drag is not currently modeled for pylons, gear cover damage, or removed canopy. You can go faster by breaking surfaces off your plane, though. Remove both wingtips and achieve 800kts on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Main reason for implementing this option was that the pylons looked a little out of place on the Blue Angels skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bies Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 In F-16 when you remove pylons you decrease drag and bump your speed. In F/A-18 it is not yet modeled. But it's EA so no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not completely mistaken, it's the other way round. Drag of them is still there if you remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
