If it was a legit mod, then yes.

(singing) Fairy tales can come true,
They can happen to you,
When you ask HTC nicely {and add some solid references}
(apologies to The Chairman)

From 2.24 Patch 1 details:
"Added a rocket and drop tank loadout to the Typhoon.

Added weight and drag to the Typhoon rocket rails."

THANKS, HTC!  :salute

Added weight and drag to the Typhoon rocket rails.

this stood out for me when I read the readme, surely the drag was modelled before? it certainly felt like it. :headscratch:

The drag effects could certainly be felt (before the update).  I'm not sure why they increased the drag or weight. I just double checked the weight of the rockets and rails on the Mossi Mk IV and the Typhoon...

the 8/60lb rockets weigh the same on both planes: 640 lbs (btw, that is a LOT of destructive power for only 640 lbs of weight)

The rails on the Mossi weight 240 lbs, the rails on the Typhoon weight 480 lbs.  I wonder why the difference?

Disclaimer:  I refuse to allow HTC to increase the weight of the rails on the Mossi.  It is forbidden.   :D
