Please split CFT pylons

[SubVision]

Looking at F-15E loadout, you made that all CFT pylons are grouped as single slot. That limits loadout options very much and requires adding all possible combinations of loadouts. And it strikes at pilots who fly BlueFlag-like missions where bomb count is limited.
 

Please at least separate those to 2 levels so 2 weapon types can be combined on CFT hardpoints.

What it released?

[SubVision]

It was added in game files with last update and wiped out with hotfix

[Gasman]

This was done as combining munitions on the CFT is not possible. You can have up to 6 iron bombs (mk82, or less Mk84, CBUs, etc), 4 GBU-12 or less of 10, 3 IAM (JDAM, WCMD) or 2 AAM on each CFT.

That lower loadout picture is not even possible though. 

A) can't mix weapons on CFTs

B) can't have 3x65s and weapons on the CFTs. (At least the uppers iirc) you can clearly see why in the picture

So this is aircraft software issue?

I understand that 3x65 overlap, it was just to check how they look

It's a limitation of the aircraft. Treat the CFT like a MER that only has 3 smart capable pylons

So why you cant have 3 smart gbu-38 and 3 non-smart mk-82? The only way i see it is that there are single option in data-cartrige for CFT loadout

Exactly as you've described. The jet only has a single location for the CFT bombs. So if you have a mix of 38s and 82, the jet will only know it has all 82 or all 38 on the pylon.

Recently listened to a 10 percent true podcast with starbaby (ex SE wso) and he said they used to regularly carry 

2 Aim9s

2 Aim120s

2 Aim7s

2 Tanks

And 2 GBU10s.

 

Surely they only way you can carry all that is to have the gbu10s and Aim7s on the lower CFTs? Is there other any way you can have this load out?

They did and the asymmetric loadout is valid in DCS.

So is this due to a limitation with DCS rather than the actual jet?

No, it is a real limitation and how the weapons are carried i.e. an example of GBU-12's on one side and AIM-7's on the other over Iraq in 1999.

Sta 5 gets a -10.  No reason to go 4k on a side when you have a perfectly good cererline.
