AGM-88 HARM Capacity for F-16

[Dača]

Hello,

There is information going around that the F-16C Viper cannot use HARM missiles from inner pilons. The ones that carry external wing fuel tanks. IRL it can carry HARMs, they can be successfully mounted, but cannot be used as it is not intended to be used with those pylons. That leaves Viper with only 2 possible HARMs instead of 4.

Can anyone confirm if that is the case and will ED remove 4 HARMs load out if it is not realistic?

 

Best regards.

Hello

this has been discussed a lot, our implementation is based on data and SME feedback over the years. 
The pylon use is optional however for mission designers. 

We will not be changing the HARM setup 

thank you
