Ah...ok I guess the bomb load is realistic then... I just assumed it wasn't because someone else claimed it wasn't... my bad.

The more bombs the better!!!! smile.gif

it is but it isnt. its "unrealistic" on that wing pylon that all. the external pylon cannot cary that much but the middle and centerline can so its realistic as far as numbers are concerned, but the layout is unrealistic

A-4's maximum allowed external stores loads:

Centerline: 3500lbs

Inboard underwing pylons:2200lbs

Outboard underwing pylons: 1000lbs

Mk81=250lbs ~125Kg

Mk82=500lbs ~250Kg

Mk83=1000lbs ~500Kg

Mk84=2000lbs ~1t

You do the maths, and dont forget the racks aren't weightless either! smile.gif

Ok the loadouts on the next version are as accurate as the inforamtion I have. Rest assured there will only be two bombs on the outer wing pylons.

You mean 2 bombs on one outer wing pylon or did you mean both pylons total 2 bombs? 2x500lbs=1000lbs I don't think the outer wing pylons are qulified to mount racks. You see, 2 Mk82s would alone total 1000lbs, so if you add the rack you'd exceed the maximum allowed load limit. The outer wing pylon can carry either a single Mk82 or 83. Personally i'd prefer a mixture of bombs and rockets on the ground attack version. In other words, 12 Mk82s total + 38 FFARs

Yes, why not? What about incorporating the Napalm bomb Jacobaby is working on?

In this case, I feel you should side with playability over realism.  Most of the air addons top out at about 1000, with the mig-19 being the fastest, but the A4 with or w/out afterburner should still be slower.  I mean, a ground attack plane loaded with 3000lbs of ordnance should not be able to outrun a FA/18...

unless of course I'm grievously incorrect.

There is a Mig-19 addon?confused.gif Care to tell us where the URL for that is? Also wasn't someone working on a Mig-21 addon??? I remember seeing a version that looked almost finished. Whatever happened to it??? Anyone know?

Ah that's the Mig-21...although I like his old desert textures better. I hope he releases it soon. But still no Mig-19. I have never seen pictures of a Mig-19 addon anywhere.
