Multiple Hardpoints

A plane can have hardpoints with greater or lesser capacity. Normal hardpoints are said to have normal capacity; they can take one hardpoint's worth of ordnance in each rocket position. Double hardpoints can take twice as much, that is two hardpoint's worth of ordnance. Triple hardpoints can take three times as much, and so on.

You can still only mount two rockets or bombs in each position, so planes with high multiples tend to prefer bombs and detest nonlethal rockets.

Increasing the hardpoint multiple costs 1000 lbs, or you can opt to overload the plane.
