Both the Mk-20 Rockeye and the Mk-82 Snakeye weigh nearly the same. In fact the Rockeye weighs less by about 10 lbs.

 

Yet, on pylons 3 and 5 you can mount 3x Rockeye OR 3x Snakeye, but on pylons 2 and 6 you can mount 3x Snakeyes, but only 2x Rockeye - 3x is not an option. Why?

 

Apropos Rockeyes and loadouts, both 2x and 3x Rockeye always has the name Rockeye next to the selection in the loadout editor. Only by single Mk-20's the name is missing. It's there for Snakeye and AIR.

 

Also in general in the loudout editor pull-down menus, 2x is above 3x, with 1x being at the bottom. It would be more consistent and a little easier to use, if it were 3x, 2x, 1x or the other way around.

Aren't rockeyes quite a bit wider than Mk-82s? I guess that it is a space problem rather than weight since the space between all pylons is not the same.

Yeah, by 2.5 inches :noexpression:

I just looked at it ingame. Seems there is a space problem relating to the wing strut gears. There is very little clearance between a possible Mk-20 and the strut. Don't take this as truth, it is just what I can see. The NAVAIR manual can probably back this up too.
