Default Harpoons for the P-3C

Why aren't my Harpoons available for loadout on a P-3C??? They were added not long ago to the real P-3C for anti-ship work.

They are not included in the game for the p-3.
Right now you have two alternatives : use the future lwami mod where the mavericks will be "transformed" in a sort of a harpoon-like missile or ask directly SCS to include the harpoon to the p-3 in a future patch.

The P-3 was the FIRST platform to carry the Harpoon.

Might be. I think they started carrying in the 70's. Problem is, this is an important weapon for the P-3C and it is not modeled.

Well it was the 1st Aircraft. The sealaunched verson was around 2 years before the airlaunched. Also they were added for Anti-Submarine work, back in 1979 there still was the threat of SLCMs from a surfaced submarine.

I blame the OrionWarrior tests for that misinformation in that case. :P
(or maybe I just misread it...)
