Occasional asymmetrical ordnance is one thing, built-in asymmetry another. The Su-25 was mentioned, but it has a huge offset gun that warrants it, balances it out neatly.The Sea Vixen had its entire cockpit off-axis, because putting the WSO/radar guy in tandem was impractical. He had to have his dark lair somewhere, and the inlet ducts etc were in the way behind the cockpit. So a side-by-side solution was the way to go. It was balanced.Other visually asymmetric designs were in fact carefully balanced as well, the crazy Arados spring to mind. Or some of Burts creations.So my question was, and remains, what balances it out?
