Use of Unguided Rockets
1. Armament Selection
You can attach three different unguided rocket types (ZUNI, Mk 151, Mk 5) to the weapon stations 2, 3, 7 and 8 (see also armament dialog). In addition to the 7 rocket pods, the Mk 151 also has a larger pod with 19 rockets.
You can choose between single or pair mounting. The top four entries include pairs suspension, so you can attach twice as many rockets pods.
.
In the following picture we have equipped several unguided rockets with double suspensions:
Weapon Stations
Finally a list of which rocket can be attached to which suspension.
In the Stores Management System (SMS) the rocket containers are used as a designation.

Later we will discuss the characteristics of the different rockets in a weapons theory course. Until then, it's enough to try out the mode of operation yourself a little.
