I suspect you are playing a DGen campaign.

 

There is not a bug with the Rockets it is just how DGen works. There is a hard coded list in DGen that picks what loadout is used for each mission and that hard coded loadout is quite often wrong for the mission type for one reason or another. The fact that you are unable to alter the loadout leads me to believe that you are playing at a lower rank and as such you do not have the ability to alter the loadout. As you attain rank there will come a point where you are able to make those decisions when it comes to ordnance loadout.

 

However you can do some things to help mitigate this problem of yours or you can just wait until you attain a higher rank.

 

You can open each mission up in the Full Mission Builder (FMB) and alter the weapons loadout before you fly the mission.

 

This rabbit hole is deep and fraught with pitfalls that can break your game so always make a backup copy before altering any files. Not trying to scare you off of doing it but when you make a mistake it can cause major functionality problems with the game and without a backup of your game it is next to impossible to fix.

 

There are a couple of files in the DGen folder named, EuroPlanes.txt and PacificPlanes.txt, that can be copied and saved as .dat files, EuroPlanes.dat and PacificPlanes.dat, which will override the hard coded DGen list. You would need to know the .mis file name for the aircraft you are flying and alter its loadouts by either adding another loadout or altering an existing one.

 

Here is an example of a plane with the wrong loadout in the Europlanes.dat file that we created from the EuroPlanes.txt file.

  • Allies (side)
    • USSR (Country)
    • FBomber (Mission type)
    • YAK_7A (.mis file Plane code)
    • 350 (aircraft speed)
    • 300 (Aircraft NORMFLY altitude or Aircraft GATTACK altitude)
    • 300 (Aircraft GATTACK altitude or Aircraft NORMFLY altitude)
    • 6xRS82 (weapons loadout)                                   1
  • Allies   USSR       Fighter         YAK_7A               350 3000 3000 6xRS82                                   1 The Fighter loadout should be default (guns only)
  • Allies   USSR       Interceptor     YAK_7A               350 3000 3000 default                                  1 The Interceptor loadout should be 6xRS82 (Six RS82 rockets)
  • Allies   USSR       Interceptor     YAK_7A               350 3000 3000 6xRS82                                   1
