Not that I haven't asked for enough already But it would be nice to have the X-47 and Sea Avenger with a few more loadouts than than the X-45 especially the tanker loadout. (if it is easier maybe use the X-45 just add to it's loadouts. Also the global hawk tanker

Generally speaking, I'm going to pass on most everything that falls into both the categories of 'hypothetical' and 'needs a new loadout'. I'm already consolidating some Ferry loadouts to try and squeeze more life out of the Loadouts annex.

Now that the choice of aircraft for the QEs has been reversed, could we keep a CATOBAR version as a hypothetical platform please?

I think that's a good idea, but can we swing it with existing loadouts? Or with minimal new ones? I need to revamp the JSF entries as a whole, so this might be doable.

Keeping an eye on the F-35B variants, the F-35B bomb bays are capable only of 1000 lb loads, not 2000 lbs weapons, as in the F-35A/C variants

as referred on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Mart...ing_II#Armament

Internally, up to two 2,000 lb (910 kg) air-to-ground bombs can be carried in A and C models (two 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs in the B model,[174][176]) along with two smaller weapons, normally expected to be air-to-air missiles.

Yeah, thanks. I'm aware that this, among several other changes, are necessary when I revamp the JSF entries.

Project 17A in India is going to have Brahmos missiles rather than the SS-N-26

It will also probably have Barak 8 in place of the SA-N-12. This isn't confirmed but the MOD is calling for as much indigenous equipment as possible. Makes sense since the 15A's are getting the Barak 8.

 

Holding off on Barak 8 until details firm up.

Consider it done.

 

The late R.550 Magic 2 Mk 2 (1990) air-to-air missile variant.

 

My info says IOC 1996, but in any event, if you can go through and suggest Loadouts that would be better served by the Magic 2 Mk 2, then that would be much appreciated and I can add it.

All great suggestions.

I think we ever forget to include in the DB the spectacular Tu-126 Moss (1965-1984) one and other time ...

Done!

Fine! This week I will be in Madrid at the Guti, but the next I hope to post some scenario ...

More ideas:

An initial version of the F-15A/C (1976-1990) without AIM-120.

Of very easy execution employing only the 55420 and 56190 loadouts.

Another idea of only relative interest:

BAC Strikemaster, light training and attack aircraft, exported to Commonwealth and Middle East countries. Some used in angry.

We can make a generic INTL entry for elude more research about years and users ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAC_Strikemaster

http://www.warbirdalley.com/strike.htm

Another idea:

The earlier MiG-21F-13, employed by Finland 1963-1986 and by at least other Third World countries into the 1990s.
