Thank you for your information again. During the operation of MER, did the interference with MER and main landing gear doors adversely affect the weapon loading of the A-6 fleet? By the way, I plan to build an A-6F, but it's hard to find useful information of A-6F? Forgive me for my rude, may I know if you have some information of A-6F?

Thank you very much for your information. I have another question, MER chose 45 degrees instead of 32 degrees. Was it because only 45 degrees could guarantee the safe ejection of bombs?

Yes, MBR was only in service for a short time before being replaced by MER. MBR caused bomb float and VA-75 lost 3 intruders due to bomb float.

The A-6A SAC shows that the A-6A inboard station can carry 6 Mk82 bombs through the MBR, but the A-6E SAC shows that the A-6 inboard station can only mount 5 Mk82 bombs through the MER. I have not been able to find detailed information on MBR on the Internet. Can someone explain to me the difference between MBR and MER?
