I am more surprised the f111 and f15E only can carry 2 AGM-65G
This may require looking for squadron reports. The manual from the superior is for reference only, the actual operation is carried out by the engineering staff of each unit. They will make different modifications according to their own needs, but considering that the F111F is close to retirement at this time, these will obviously not be reported back to the superior unit. As with the HARM incident with DCS F16C, it was found that many squadrons carried HARM in different locations, even from those listed in the manual. Some squadrons carry only on the outside, some carry only on the inside, and some carry in both positions. In the end, the conclusion is that any one is correct, and these are their own transformation according to the situation of each unit.
Any update on the review Smin1080p?
