=Panther= Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I understand it is EA WIP, but wanted to point out that there is no external tank pylon on STA4/6 when there isn't an external tank installed. The wing tank when removed, comes off with the pylon. The tank does not separate from the pylon and pylon doesn't remain on the aircraft. Now if one was to install a wing weapons pylon, that is a completely different type of pylon and can be installed if one chooses.

mvsgas Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I was wondering where you saw that until I saw the Landing gear animation video. Agreed, 370 tank pylons are part of the tank and are installed, removed, and jettison together. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouli306 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 They really look like the external tank pylons. You should be able to place weapon pylons at stations 4 and 6 but not the pylons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Panther= Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just a friendly bump, based on the IFF video. When removed by maintenance or jettisoned the Tank Pylon Assembly (TPA) comes off the aircraft as one whole assembly. There is no method for the lower tank portion to leave the pylon (besides in overhaul maintenance but that isn't important).
