Punkmonkey22 Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 I thought I was going mad because I can't find anybody else mentioning it. But why is only the chute retarded version of the MK-84 available on stations 2 & 8? On the other MK-84 compatible stations slick is available, but not here?
Zabuzard Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 I need to doublecheck tomorrow but afaik that version of the bomb was longer or had larger fins and it collided with something if put on those stations and hence wasnt allowed. 2
Northstar98 Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 In the 1979 -1 stores limitation diagram, I can only see Mk 84 LDGPs on stations 1, 5 and 9. Unfortunately, my 1984 revised 1990 -1 (which would've likely had the Mk 84 AIRs and not just LDGP) has the relevant sheets missing.

Zabuzard Posted August 12, 2024 Posted August 12, 2024 Doublechecked, it is indeed too long. The standard MK-82 would, if attached to stations 2 and 8, clash and interfere with the gear doors. 1
