Guuru,

operatively was rare see a GR.1/1B with the external shoulder rails on the inner pylons.

This don't mean that is impossible ( I think all see the commercial/trial pics of Tonkas armed with 7/9 ALARMs) ,but only that,in a loadout.ini,personally don't will load anythings here.

Also,the belly rack can be uploaded with up to 3 LGBs ( if not equipped with a targeting pod).

I've in tha past a lot of first-hand infos from a Brit friend that was an RAF armourer int the ODS years,but unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago...

Yup, max up to 7 ALARMS on official RAF site. (And it's 3 on centerlines, 2 on inner tank pylons and 2 instead of tanks).

So in practice, with tanks and without AIM-9 ... 5 ;-)

So, what I did ... it's possible to load ALARMS on every pylon I saw on pics, but ... in loadouts I used them only 3 on centerlines for SEAD missions.

You can add them for load, but they are not auto-loaded.

Compromises ... ;-)

====================================

BTW, right navigator screen in bombing mode. Yup we'll have bombing radar. Not hi-precision device, but should be enought for dropping nukes, or 8 bombs salvo ;-)

Finished radar bombing for 1000lb irons (it will be separate for nuke).

It isn't ofc exactly Tonka avionics, but at least looks similar ;-)
