I thought unsymmetric fuel tank loads may not be done with the F-16 (unlike the F-18). But on the load button there is SEAD KILL option and it gives 4 cluster bombs, one HARM , a central fuel tank and one fuel tank under one wing only?! is that something the F-16 capable of?

No. And about fuel tanks, always two 370gal. No center 300gal for real ops AG mission.

two questions on that, Amraam. I have heard this said quite a bit, and it makes sense (having fuel tanks for AG missions). But I cant find a document saying that it must always be the case, and I can find 1 document which implies that if it is the case now, then it was not in the past. The PACAF SCLs doc in the install folder (Deprecated, PACAFI21-202) lists Standard Conventional Loadouts with 4 mark 84s and no fuel tanks.
If it is now the case that all AG configs must have fuel tanks, I wonder when and why the change was made?

This sort of information is, with all information I have, not in official document. Just common sense for the munition flight line service ;).
