After getting taking on my J-26, while waiting for parts for a J-35/RF-35 combo, I dug out my 77Sqn RAAF Musty. While getting ideas for it (correct prop for starters) I came across 2 pics that seem to show RP-3 60 pounder rockets under the wings. One shows a full load. Other shows 1X RP-3 and 2X 5" HVARs. 1: Were the RP-3s compatible with the US rocket stubs? 2: What logic would there be using RP-3s? The Sqn was attached o a US FB wing. Would be logical they used the wings logistics.(RN used the RP-3s on SeaFurys, Fireflys,etc , but that was British aircraft operating off a British carrier ā¦) 3: Why the mixed load? Iād think ballisics would be different making aiming a PITA.
