AV-8A rocket loadout

[+malibu43 142]

I noticed the other night that the AV-8A loadout.ini calls out for LAU-3A's. However, after installing the weps pack, the LAU-3A's are USAF only, and the harrier weapons stations only allow USN attachments. I've replaced the LAU-3A with the LAU-10A for now, but since I'm going to have to tweak something anyway, I wanted to know what type of rocket pods a USMC AV-8A would typically carry.

 

Anyone know?

Just do this:

 

"USN,USAF" for the pylons in the _DATA.ini file, and then you can utilize the pods. Or just go through the weapons editor and check "USN" for the LAU-3

Thanks. I knew I could try all that, but I was more just looking to find out what kind of rocket pod the AV-8A would carry in real life. Thanks though!

I think the Navy and Marines uses the LAU-61 which is a copy of the LAU-3.

The USN uses the 19rkt LAU-61 and LAU-69; the 7rkt LAU-32 and LAU-68. The USMC AV-8B Harrier carries the LAU-3.
