Don’t see one. Welcome to report it.
Only ever seen two fit tested;
But given how the rail hooks up, you might have seen up to 6x excluding the outrigger pylon if it had been progressed.

Thanks, 2 Alarms without sacrificing any Mavs would be a nice addition to the gr7 even nicer if that could be passed on to the T.10.
I suppose technically it does. Kinda. Given that we should have AGM-65s on those outer 2 pylons as well. But Alas, 6x AGM-65 on the Harrier GR7 is considered way too OP, but the F-16s having 6 is fine at the same BR

So, just curious, what exactly would the UK get out of that 1? (only heli tree I have unlocked)
Does JAGM-MR have MITL?
If not, no idea.
Though always Brimstone for LOAL
I was thinking maybe Sea Venom missile could be a thing perhaps, but IDK how effective it would be in WT.
Though would require Wildcat to be added?
It probably would. but would be a really niche weapon system for it.
No idea how theyd balance it though. Its an 11.7 ish heli at 13.0 because it could have 4x MITL missiles
I guess they will just give Spike NLOS for most nations without MITL. Pretty weak missile but there aren’t really any other options.
Wildcat could have Spike NLOS as well, since it’s integrated for Korea and Philippines
It’s also on AH-64E in the US. So following the logic of JAGM and CIRCM being on everybody’s Echo Apaches, everybody might get Spike there too

Seems the more I like a plane, the worse they treat it, I am sorry 😿
Might have to re-evaluate my favourite helicopter based on silly payload. Katran might finally have a contender
20x Starstreaks or LMM would definetly make the Wildcat an hilarious heli to mess about with if it was at like 11.7.
It would be interesting, not sure how functional
I actually love this solution. Ive never seen it suggested before and its so simple it should be obvious. Add all the mmW guided weapons we can, but just make anything with that seeker cost 5000sp. Means its available for Air RB, Sim and custom battles but doesnt break ground RB.

I also had a thought when it comes to India for the MITL missiles and helis.
The HAL Prachand fires HELINA/Dhruvastra right? Does it also have the ability to fire the alternate versions of the missile with mitl too like SANT or no (at least I think SANT is MITL capable?)? I couldnt really find much with regards to this as even the HELINA version is still being trialled.
There is the Indian Mi-24 that trialled SANT but yeee, rather not a copy Mi-24 where possible ofc.
Given that India is a sub tree for the UK if people like it or not, it might be a nice, niche addition where an Indian heli can shine.
I’ve said it many times, if it’s THAT much of a problem just make it cost a fortune per pylon so you can only reasonably carry like 6 in grb maybe
Where quantity is/was concerned, Ive always thought that loadout costs should be based upon quantity and full selection. Not just the most expensive item no matter how many.
Have each weapon on each hardpoint have a cost. Then the SP cost is just the total of all pylons added up.
Gives an incentive to running less weapons or different mixes. Like doing 6x Brimstones and PW4s instead of just running 18x Brimstones (if/when Brimstones are worth running like that at least)
Then the cost can be balanced on a per pylon basis. If you want to run 18x Brimstones it costs X amount, and would be really high, but 6x would be more reasonable. Perhaps also with a cost multiplier after so many weapaons are taken. So after 9-12 Brimstones you’d get like a 1.5 ish mutliplier to the total SP cost.
Also means that the F-15s could get their full 28x loadout of Spice-250 and GBU-53s. That full loadout is possible but costs a lot more than just taking 8 or 16
