Can someone with 4N confirm if the right arm has 20 missile tubes?

To test, mount an lrm20. If shot alone do all missile come out in 1 salvo or more. If more than 1, repeat with lrm10 and lrm15 to determine number of tubes. Same for shoulder launchers. As the shoulders should be 6, trying an srm6 and lrm10 should be sufficient. Most mechs have the same number as their default equipped launcher. However I have seen one post claiming it has 20 tubes and wanted to confirm. Thank you all in advance.


For anyone interested I can confirm the following:

5M - 10 tubes in RA/LA, 6 in RT, 1x6 and 1x1 in LT.
3F - 10 in RA/LA, 6 in RT/LT.
3H - 20 in RA/LA, 6 in RT/LT.


Thank you all in advance. I will edit this post with the number so there all in one place for anyone interested. As such feel free to add info for the 5S if you have it for completion.


Update:
4N - 10 in RA, 6 in RT/LT (tested by Selfish (thank you), see post #8)

The number of tubes is how many the stock config has for the slot. I suspect only 10 slots, not 20 since it runs only a LRM-10.

I doubt this very much. If the stalker-3m has 1x1 tube in its torso then does it come "stock" with an SRM1? NO I DON'T THINK SO.

NARC pod, Raven has one also, Single Shot.

Stuff a LRM in there to deplete enemy AMS ammo at an alarming rate.

You mean 5M. Yes, I have one and can confirm that one of the 2 LT launchers is only 1 Tube. Originally a narc pod, if you put a LRM 10 in it, it will shoot 10 volleys of single rockets when fired, an SRM2, 2 rockets in succession, and so forth. All numbers quoted in original post are from models I own and have personally tested. I'm looking for someone that owns the 4N (and 5S) to test and confirm their tube numbers, as stated in op.

LRM20 Ravens are hilarious.

yes as i grinded the ravens (pre ecm btw) I had the 4x with lrm20 TAG and an ML and JJs.

So fun in pugs because it was definitely a Lone Wolf mech. Key was being at around 200-400 meters and staying away from the other lights lol.

The STK-4N's arm mounted missile tubes are size 10. The Torsos are size 6. Just tested on my 4N with 20's, 15's, 10's, and SRM6's.
