Another request for the option to load only one ATGM on a rack instead of being forced to use two

Hello,

This request was brought up in a previous thread that has since been deleted for some reason.

We should have the ability to take missile racks that only have 1 of 2 missile rails occupied. This is nice for low intensity conflicts and was probably the most common configuration seen during the Mi-24's actual combat history until recently.

In the original thread I spent several hours compiling well over a dozen pictures from a variety of conflicts spanning almost the entirety of the Mi-24P's service history, in particular the Soviet-Afghan war, in which 2 rocket pods and 2 ATGMs were a staple loadout. I am extremely confident that it is a realistic option, if not the default option.

Now we have Afghanistan, home to the Mi-24P in Soviet use. We have the missiles and the rockets but we are forced to either fly with asymmetric loadouts or waste precious weight on more ATGMs than we need in an unrealistic manner.

Please allow us to take racks with only one ATGM on them.
