PGI,
The next time you do a tuning pass on the Atlas, please consider giving the AS7-K and Boar's Head a 20 tube missile hard point. About the only useful thing you can do with a single missile hard point is run an LRM launcher, and it would be nice if an LRM20 salvo launched in a single volley instead of two 10-missile volleys.

Like it NRP. I'm still hanging on to the hope that they may one day go bigger with an LRM 30 or maybe different types of ammunition such as DPICM or Minelet.

Greetings all,
The different warheads you mention are all within the carrying load out of the (available in this timeline) Arrow IV missile system. See here for the types and system spec's: http://www.sarna.net...ow_IV_Artillery
15Tons/ 15slots, and very little ammo per ton (5/ton)
The homing missile and the inferno were the two normal or common load outs, cluster rounds were only used for infantry (not effective on Mech's) and the FASCAM doesn't arrive until 3056.
[DPICM was only the anti personnel types in the games creation era, the 70's so there were no weapons of that type designed in the lore. Anti armour DPICM was only produced in the 1990 era]
There are the MRM10,20,30,40, missile packs but we will not see them till 3058.

For the OP, fitting in the correct size of launcher to handle 20 tubes would require an art change to the model or a separation of launchers into "insert" elements on what ever Mech. And may not be doable for the size they have given on the Atlas torso shoulder. (unless they resize the tubes themselves, they are only 1.1 dmg per missile after-all)
