I mean this probably is a lot of faffing about as they gonna have to make each pylon a slot. But its nice someone did take time.

I assume its just software based, since there is no instant steering like electronically scanned array

Is it really? That’s a pretty substandard fix in the face of the host of other deficiencies (e.g. a maws that’s still as bad as f111, if not worse), unless they’re giving us access to the 3 pylons for customisation. Which I highly doubt they will open up those pylons.

i’m really hoping that’ll be the case, as the list of possible ‘simple’ weapon load permutations would already be astronomical (e.g.: single pylon (centerline station 5), and double pylon (pylon 5l and 5r) versions of each weapon)

It would be nice if it was the case, but given the state this thing has been left in, I have my doubts.
