Mechanic,
Any difference in the capacities for weight on the wingtips between the legacy and supers? |

Can't remember out of my head if Super has stronger wingtip hardpoints.
One more point about Growler wingtip pods. They attach directly to the wing, AMRAAM also needs 50+ lbs launcher. |

| Attached directly to the wing, but they use the same attachment points the wingtip rail would use on the E/F for airframe commonality. |

| My point was that the wing attaching point must also bear the weight of launcher, when using a missile at the wing tip. |
