you have to follow hardpoint restrictions, dude
i dont remember anyone saying you could ignore them
let's say that each missile takes up a hardpoint
let's also say that each salvo of 32 rockets is another hardpoint taken up
Internally Mounted RAC/10 120kg
6x HSM 510kg
3x RL-20 (96 Rockets) 900kg
2x JSM 240kg
2x RGM 400kg
so there's 5330kg of carry capacity left, and it's not like I can't mount more weapons on it, so what do we do? countermeasures
that or I can clear up a hardpoint so I can carry an externally mounted gun pod, but hey, lighting up the sky with a thousand flares is more efficient.
