I noticed in the Butterbee picture the Butterbee's missile bay only has 7 rows of missiles. Wouldn't it make more sense to divide up the missile bay into 8 rows?

Since the most you can put onto a Catapult's arm is 2 LRM 20s. Whether it be Catapult A1 or C4

The only other configuration where you can put most things into a Catapult A1 is a LRM 20, LRM 15, and a SRM 6.

So mathmatically would it be the most reasonable to just divide up the Missile Dock in 8 rows or columns no matter what.

And just make every row LRMs 5 missile tubes consistently. And every row of SRMs 6 missile tubes.

For instance this is what 2 LRM 20s would look like.

Here is what a LRM 20, LRM 15, and SRM 6 configuration would look like.

Heres what 3 SRM 6s would look like.

Butterbee and C3 have boxes as large as old 15 tube boxes, and look to have maximum tube count of 15+20. I'm willing to bet the A1 Cat will have the wider arm boxes that current cats have, but scaled down naturally. I'd be willing to bet max tubes 10+20+10. But 5x8 arrangement tipped on it's side, so vertical columns of 5 tubes.
It'l be interesting to see if:
1- A1 has regular sized arms until 3rd launcher fitted.
2- C1 has a smaller arm with max 20 tube size, that if this exists, all other Cats use until 2nd launcher fitted.
