F20A Tigershark armament

Okey, this is quite intresting plane, and it is good news, shame it’s a premium, but it will not be the point.
Since Gaijin is known for wanting to be historically correct on armaments, ammunition etc, I’m wondering how this plane is using 6 x Aim 9’s when every source what I’ve found is stating it’s using only aim 9’s on wingtips.

There’s a few links to back this up.
It would be nice if someone has sources to backup this 6 x aim 9’s

Amraams are know in all the sources, but that is only where I’ve seen 6 x Aim9’s.
