Mercenary loadouts

[csb 12]

If I use the campaign customiser and select Mercenary, will the loadouts for squadron members be selected automatically (as happens when flying for government squadrons) or will I still need to select each aircraft's loadouts?

I prefer to fly as merc but I don't like having to select loadouts for 8 or so aircraft.

I am considering buying the campaign customiser.

No answer yet but probably found the answer.

After some searching I found that to play as mercenary in any SF2 title (Vietnam, Israel, etc) then must have original SF2 installed.

So it seems likely that playing mercenary in any SF2 theatre, the game will use SF2 code for mercenary squadrons. SF2 will NOT do loadouts automatically for all the squadron aircraft.

I have SF2 + Europe + Israel.

Has anyone with merged install played as Merc?
