Each hardpoint is capable of holding one Hellfire missile, two Stinger
missiles, or a quadpack of 70 mm folding fin rockets. You may customize the
loadout by clicking with the mouse on the “+” and “–” buttons for each type of
weapon. Clicking “+” for a given weapon will add the number of that weapon
that will fit on a single hardpoint. You cannot, however, load more weapons
than can physically fit on the available hardpoints. Therefore, since the
helicopter will initially be fully loaded when you see the Loadout screen, you
must decrease the number of one type of weapon before you can add another.
The words “Full Loadout” will appear whenever all hardpoints are loaded with
munitions.
