Just a quick question about the Mig - 17 on its lack of bombloads? I found some information on the internet about the Mig - 17. It says that it can carry bombs and drop tanks (max load 550 lbs.) but mentioned that the load was light for the time the aircraft was in use.

I am wondering if this was the case not to include hard points on the Mig - 17?

Re: Mig -17 bomb loads?
The MiG-17 is a funny creature from my readings. You are correct that many variants exist, and the the later upgrades included the ability to carry a few missiles or freefall bombs. I went with the smaller, and older version in the first MAS rulebook mostly from a game designer point of view, and because most of those built seemed to be of the first variety.pouncer wrote: Just a quick question about the Mig - 17 on its lack of bombloads?
