Assistance with bug report ( A-4E Early )

I recently made a bug report about the A-4E early not having its centerline AGM-62 Walleye in the middle pylon, I want more details or sources to strengthen the bug report. Since the plane did had the capability to carry three of them historically.

the photo shows the A-4E early ( which i suspect is A-4F from the back curved fuslage ) having the Walleye II which is the second version of it, The A-4E early in Game is equipped with Walleye I the first version, unfortunately this is kind of close but not required by the bug report moderators.

Nice but im not sure about it getting shrikes or aim 9d as that seems like a balancing choice? F100D should also be able to carry shrikes. If it gets 3 walleys and also shrikes it will go up in GRB. Giving it aim 9d would make it go up in arb aswell but to what BR? its flight model sucks and 9.0 would be too low? 9.3 would be too low? 9.7 even isnt right? It would have to be in a situation where it has decent missiles but everything else about the plane would be terrible so i dont think it will or should receive the aim 9d

I am supportive of it receiving shrikes and an extra walleye as it doesn’t make sense not to. It’ll be more fun in nuclear escalation aswell.

Also what variant of the A4 is this about? From this picture it seems to include the trainer as well but no specific version mentioned? Can you link the manual this is from?

The worst case scenario that they going to only increase its BR in air by 0.3.
While i cant say to a certainty, its up to the devs to balance such stuff.
