The Mk41 is set up in 8 cell blocks, is the loadout limited to the same weapon in that block or can each cell be a different weapon? I mainly ask since were seeing more quad pack options than the ESSM and you may not want 32 of some of them (like decoys).

The module does not have to be the same. In fact, in US loadouts, you rarely have more than 2 of the same thing in the same module. :big_grin:

Thanks, I thought that was the case but couldn't find a definitive answer.

I understand that you are considering what is already being proposed, but please.....don't consider putting countermeasures inside of VLS tubes. :heh: That would be robbing the ship of active defensive assets. Countermeasures their own launchers on the topside of the deck. I would consider VLS for things that have to go in VLS, like big missiles. :big_grin:

The USN can mix and match as many combinations as they want. :cool_2:
Nulka has its own launcher.
The USN may have modified standard missiles that can be launched from the VLS but I doubt they are decoys.
