Yeah I know what you mean. I "lost" the link I was using yesterday that inspired the question !

Then the two brain cells that still work remembered I sent Andy the link

scroll down to Weapon Configurations and you find the original version of this....




Nice, yes ?

You can see the hardpoints and it give typical loads ...... MUCH more helpful than something like this for the Phantom II

provision to mount two AIM-7 Sparrow self-defence AAMs in rear fuselage recesses; radar suppression weapons include mix of AGM-45 Shrike, AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-88 HARM missiles in conjunction with APR-38 RHAWS integral equipment and podded ALQ-119 ECM

or others that tell me something can carry say........20,000 pounds but don't say how many of which hardpoints are for heavy ordnance and which for light.

The problem is even this doesn't tell the whole story but it does better than most. Note the close air support configuration show the Typhoon carrying 18 ( ! ) brimstones. Six hardpoints used with three misslies per hardpoint so in game terms ----if I ASSUME they balance the load.... the least amount of Brimstones carried would be 6.....one pod of three per side, then other goodies could be hung. I discovered from a photo that the Tornado can carry 12 brimestones-------- 4 pods of 3 on the center line but finding all this out without multiple sources and a lot of luck is a real treat sometimes and in the end a Typhoon in the game with 18 brimstones is pricey at 624 points ....tempting to buy for all those Brimstones but you really want the air defence suppressed before you send that in
