Wow an actual US army source and we know dimensions and the launch rails are designed to be able to use Hellfires and JAGM
People wanting something or not doesn’t matter.
If it’s in the game it should exist in real life ?
There’s also a picture of a pylon that carries two LMURs.

We have images, multiple images of 16 Hellfires, considering JAGM is designed to be compatible with those rails. And we have US military documents backing up the 16 payload for JAGM
BUK M3 if you destroy the Radar the other launchers can still be used, IRIS-T Radar dies system dies.
Skysabre and SAMP-T should have this fucntionality and it was denied.
Well NATO tend to recess missiles (Gaijin also do not model ejector pylons) to reduce drag
Russia only have on most airframes 2 missiles recessed between the engines but the pylons themselves are not recessed adding to increased drag, The majority are mounted on wing stations.
There should be some negatives from carrying 14 missiles.

There is but not mounted on the 4 stations.
documents also suggest that LMUR at least on MI-28 are designed to carry 4 as a maximum.
Give me an image of 16 JAGMs on a helicopter, brochure doesn’t interest me.
So same as 64E, good to know.
Someone has already shared sources and in far more detail of any of the rebuttal to the LMUR question.
LMUR is a new missile it does not use existing rails. if it had been a new version that shares the Vikhrs launch tubes then sure.
Again same missile size same launch rail, same carrying capacity.
Although with how good JAGM is you probably wont carry 16 of them when 8 will do.

I already said I don’t care about your brochures, give me pictures or I’ll just assume you’re wrong.
Vikhrs are irrelevant here.
Double missile pylon has been shown and weight of the entire system isn’t problematic either.

So you want photographic evidence when you cannot even provide me with a simple design showing 8 LMURS is possible.
Despite you being provided with Data sheets from the US Army (the operator of the airframe) and Lockheed the manufacturer of the missile.
And yes of course the Vikhrs point is relevant, if the new missile shared the same launch rails then you could make the case for it. As mentioned LMUR uses a new launch system and even in combat they are using it no more than 4 per airframe.
I would also add why do Russian helicopters get APDS as a belt choice

How about a very cool not at all digitally altered, real photograph by lockmart

Yes I want that as brochures clearly don’t work.
Not using more than 4 per airframe = can’t use more than 4
Brilliant.

It’s like arguing how do we know Aim120C (being the exact same size) can fit on the same pylons as the Aim120B
Well because that was one of the design requirements
No single image or diagram shows more than 4
Russian players are very passionate about this game and they don’t like it when they are held to the same standards as the rest of the player base.

Something being the exact same size doesn’t prove that they are compatible in anything more than just the mounting system.
I’m still looking for images of 64E with 16 JAGMs mounted.
Keep looking unlike Russia the US isn’t at war you are not going to find an Ah-64E fully loaded for anti armour operations.
Some more diagrams, sources
Why would you mount 8 LMUR’s in the war Russia is at right now ?
Cold war with huge assumed tank asasaults is over.

Ever heard of shows where you flex your military muscles ?
You probably wouldn’t, But at the same time why would you send 4 Mi-28 with 2 LMUR missiles when one or 2 could fulfill the task.
During the armoured couter attack towards Robotyne we saw fully loaded Ka-52Ms with maximum Vikhrs payloads.
