Did Chile operate for example AIM-9B for a stock missile?

How did you do it? That image looks great. Regarding the Italian napalm bombs, they were only used by the Chilean Vampires. They specify it in the book about the Vampires in Chile. The Dragonfly napalm bombs are of a different model. We would have to analyze the photos I shared of the Chilean Dragonfly armament to see if we can deduce what model they are, but as I said before, they must be American or manufactured by Famae in Chile. The Sura rockets are also from the Vampire and Hawker Hunter era and do not use rocket launchers as such but are suspended on rails, the Dragonflies did not use them.

The United States loaned a batch of 30 AIM-9B missiles to the Chilean Air Force in 1976 because the batch of 100 AIM-9J missiles that would be used by the Chilean F-5 was not complete, they used some components of the AIM-9B to complete AIM-9J until the order of the AIM-9J was finally completed, the rest of the AIM-9B were returned to the United States. That is, as such Chile never used AIM-9B as a standard missile, but the first missiles were the Shafrir II and AIM-9J of the Tiger.
Being able to use the Shafrir 2 doesn’t mean it should get the Shafrir 1. Chile never had the weapon, and forcing compatibility of the Shafrir 1 with the Shafrir 2 pylons required some changes by Israeli engineers last I checked, as they weren’t even initially mounted on any pylons on some aircraft. So for accuracy, I suggest removing it from that list.
I splice existing images of weapons loadout and mesh them together and add text to weapon loadout names that do not exist in game. I mainly do that because there is not weapon loadout maker akin to the WT TT maker so it has to do be done manually which can be painstaking
Would not be adding the 559G’1 or the SURA’s but the Mk.2 napalm bombs which is the Israeli napalm bombs will likely be added unless it’s of a later model.
Acknowledged and that would be fine since the Shafrir 1’s can be replaced with the AIM-9B which the Dragonfly definitely used and they act very similar to each other
