-ALR would be an RWR kit I’d imagine. so not that.

I lied

They are mostly RWR, but there are some other things

Americans.
Why can’t they make everything straightforward… like “Blue Vixen” or… “Yellow Sun”… or “ARI 18228”

Updated the number of available Mavericks to 6, up until now it wasn’t confirmed 6x was possible. We only had pictures of outboard Mavericks but not in quantities of more than 2-4.

Thanks to @Flame2512 we now have that confirmation.

Will it also count for G? After all they are heavier.

Also we finally have undeniable proof that six Sidewinders was possible:

Good, nice catch

I’m a huge advocate for the GR-9

JX is pictured outboard here, which is PBF warhead like the G series. So shouldn’t be a weight issue.

GR.9a

What?

We need GR.9a. It is a GR.9 but has a better engine.

Ok?

Is that 6x BOL as well?

Unlikely. I’ve never seen anything to suggest more than 4 is possible. The additional SW uses an adaptor as well so it will be just on a LAU-7.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the GR.5 as a pack premium or Sqn vehicle. Given that it would be slightly worse than the GR.7 it would be a good vehicle for it. Premiums should always be worse than TT vehicles.

Being slightly worse would also hopefully mean it’s 11.3. (11.0 In SB) which would be actually kinda awesome
