If you want a more realistic 4 Mav loadout in WOE, just save this as add_lau.ini, go in the weapons editor and import it into your weapondata.ini. save: done!

Similar solution existed in weaponspack, but seems AWOL.

eh,
just a note.. but...
the A-10A and F-4E could load 6 Mavs ... cause, in the 70's/ early 80's there were only the AGM-65A and B...
with 125 lb warhead (462 lb total missile weight) ...
The IR AGM-65D came into service in 1985 or so, it has a much bigger warhead ( 300 lb ) and a total missile weight of 670 lb ... and the LAU-88 triple rail cant load three of those heavy -65D missiles, only 2 max... thats the limit...
So, for the timeframe in which WOE plays.. 6 missiles are OK.

re the A-10 - Are you sure about that? theres another reason here from an A-10 loader:

Anyway, my solution just adds the possibility to load 4, it doesn't remove the possibility of loading 2 or six ... you just get the choice in the loadout screen!

I also believe that while they usually load only two, max. 4 (to avoid tire burns); the A-10 would be capable of sporting 6 A/B/D models if necessary, eg when there actually would hav ebeen a massive tank invasion.

Awesome! Thanks!

Does anyone know if the same thing can be done with the TER's? I think there's a way, since there's a post of a CorsairII in the screenshot thread with such a load out, but I'm not sure how to do it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

*edit* - never mind. See post below. Sorry for getting ahead of myself.

I have another question regarding the modified LAU-88's.

How does the game know to use the right rack on the right side and the left rack on the left side? Or does it only work for the default loadout when the correct racks are called out in the loadout.ini?

I created TER's that only carry two bombs each, it worked great except that the bombs load on the bottom hardpoint and inside hardpoint, instead of the bottom and outside. I tired changing the x values of the attachment to + and -, and saw no difference. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Never mind. I got it figured out.

There was another TER higher up in the weapon data that only had 2 attachment point (TER_CBU), so it was defaulting to that rack instead. Got it worked out now!

To be honest I do not know why he loads the "right" rack. It just happend to work out. Nice to have it also for TER's.

For the TER's and MER's, I only had to create one rack missing the inside attachment positions. I wouldn' be surprised if you only needed one of the LAU-88 also.

i think I'm starting to understand: all is calculated relatively from the center of the aircraft, so it is just mirrored. It can be it actually only uses one of the 2-mav LAU's I made.

Your close. The x distance is measured from the attachment point on the rack, but I think it is mirrored on the opposite wing...

I think... I'm not sure though.
