If I'm remembering correctly one of the reasons we didn't carry them on my deployment in 15/16 was we didn't have the longer rocket pods (LAU-131A/A or LAU-68F/A). I don't recall ever seeing them loaded on the legacy pods personally. Reading through the dash 34 it states AGR-20 laser guided rockets are loaded in the LAU-131A/A or LAU68F/A. No mention of them being loaded in the legacy rocket pods.
Would be nice to get the LAU-131A/A and LAU-68F/A added.

It's only about a 12 pounds different between the 131A (66.66 LBS) and the 131A/A (78.5 LBS) but according to the A-10C-1-1 drag index is the same for the short and long pods (0.80).
Like I’ve already said the current A-10C and what we are getting in version 2 aren’t pure suites so to call them suite anything wouldn’t be accurate.
Agree
What I think they’re asking is an AWACS sharing data and it showing up in the TAD. Red for bad, yellow for suspect, white for unknown and blue for neutral.
