Your sins are forgiven - if they were pants photos we’d riot but those are some nice shots.

Usually that works but for some reason that just won’t work for these photos on this topic. If I upload them from my computer and spoiler them they end up looking corrupted with a bunch of yellow and black lines but if I try to spoiler them on my phone the spoiler then doesn’t open.

Neither works with uploading full images or uploading screenshots of them.

Never had this happen with any photos before and only seems to affect this topic.

Want me to fix it?

Thanks, for some reason whenever I upload them and put them into a spoiler they end up looking like this:

Haven’t had this happen before and seems to be just in this topic.

Odd, never come across that before.

Isn’t BOL on the Aim-9 pylon? Which is why it is there even without Aim-9?

Yeah BOL is fired out of the back of the ITSPL - Typhoon cannot fly without them fitted

It’s why even when a Typhoon is ‘Clean’ it will still have the outer pylons fitted as I believe they’re integral to the structure (Im not a Mech so I dont know the correct definitions)

Correct, here an Italian video where a crew member confirms it (timestamp 5:56):

(video has subtitles)

Translation from Italian: “Except for these ones that are part of the structure, they can’t be removed, the other ones are interchangable”

has it been reported?

Currently you need to stock grind the BOL pods (comes as a part of the MAW mod)

32 countermeasure stock grind next patch will not be nice

That’s just Gaijin being Gaijin and treating Typhoon BOL like any other BOL. Aint going to change anytime soon. They wont even fix BOL to begin with.

But hopefully EvoDASS comes sooner rather than later

Errr I wouldn’t be able to back it up with documentation without the potential of getting in trouble at work… lol

I’m sure someone here will have sources that can be found online to back it up - and knowing Gaijin they’ll leave the grind as it is, even if the ITSPL’s are moddeled on all the time (which they should), I doubt Gaijin will give ya free BOL

The only needed source would be the fact that BOL isnt a loadout option. Its always present once you unlock the MAWS mod.

Its a matter of convincing Gaijin to not artificially make the stock grind suck. But that is exactly what they want it to be so you are more likely to spend GE on it. That is all the mod system is actually for. Its to make money

There’s nothing to report. The BOL pods are always there on the model. Unlocking the module just lets you load countermeasures into them.
