Open KC45jp opened 1 year ago
I haven't got the DB in front of me, but I recall being slightly dissatisfied with the variety of GCS-1 guided bomb loadouts for the Kai Phantom (and other Japanese aircraft). Do you know if the current loadouts are fair or if anything should be considered for addition there?
OK here is the F-4EJ with GCS-1

I looked at this again, that's five bombs. One is under the centreline. The image caption also implies they're the JM117 variant?
