Hi Marek
Nice pictures and the link also proved interesting.
I guess all I can say is that the second picture suggests that carrying of
"4x M10 three-tube 4.5 in (112 mm) rocket launchers and any two bombs"
is also possible though the picture does show droptanks rather than bombs.
I still think more than 4 bombs is unlikely.
The first picture might be an interesting addition to the OOBS, assuming as with the second that it isnt some sort of test platform.
Of course it is very difficult to prove that a particular configuration didnt exist. These "new" "improved" loadouts appeared in the upgrade to v7 as did the "incorrect" typhoons with 16 or 12 rockets. Im a bit dubious about the large loadouts. I dont know if he reads these forums but apparently Jakub Jaraczewski had a hand in the work if he could tell us where these particular lightning configurations were found that would clear up a lot.
I remember that one poster in the DOS forum had looked at the plane loadouts compared to some game he played and thought he had found a lot of errors.
Best Regards Chuck.
