Ka-50 Weapons Loadout Inaccuracy

Hello, sorry if i am posting this to the wrong place, but it seems as though the Ka-50 Black Shark has an incorrect loadout selection, in-game it is not possible to mount both Igla missiles on both outermost hardpoints, and it is not possible to hold 2 Igla ATA missiles next to the Vikhr ATG missile mountings on either side at the same time in game either on a 3rd hardpoint which is not acknowledged in-game. The Ka-50 has 3 hardpoints on the wings, with the furthest from the fuselage being able to hold the 2 Igla missiles. This is incorrectly modeled in game as being held on the same hardpoint as the Vikhr missiles, and you can only hold 1 Igla mounting on the left wing’s 2nd hardpoint, when it should be on a yet to be modeled 3rd hardpoint.

Ka-50 Hardpoints Loadouts
Source including the ability for it to mount Igla missiles on a third hardpoint: Ka-50 HOKUM (KAMOV)

I hope this will be fixed in the future.

Your 1 source makes no mention of a 3rd hard point on the wings. In fact it only states 2.

External stores are mounted on underwing external hardpoints. Each wing has two hardpoints for a total of four stations.

Standard Payload External weapons load: 2,500 kg on 4 under-wing stores points.

I think what they’re referring to is the flr chaff pods mounted on the wings, the actual document they shared shows the iglas mounted on said wing pods, kind of like an extension hard point, i will say the dcs flight manual for the ka 50 makes mention of said extension hard points so its probably a communication error on their end
