HMMMMmm I gotta say I would doubt that the aircraft could take off with both a harpoon AND a sidewinder on each wing. nine-mikes are heavy enough on their own. let alone stick another BIGGER missile on there with them, bit un-needed to be fair, AH worked ok on Ocean, no real need to modify the aircraft, just procedures.

The wheels certainly dont need moving to the Wing tips, you would severly comprimise the crash survivability of the platform.

And Why get rid of the M230?

looks cool tho,
in fact all three types look cool.

Almost cool enough just to use the coolness of them as an argument for their inception.

In Fact Ive convinced myself bring 'em on I'll take all three!
