Multiple weapons for aircraft

Hi!
I am thinking about making aircraft to use multiple weapons. Something like A-10 (or Attack helicopter) which can use both auto cannon and missiles. Both weapons have separated ammo counter. Is that possible on RA2, or maybe with Ares/Phobos?

Aircraft can have two weapons but only one ammo counter, with Ares you can make one of the weapons not use up ammo though. So you can have a auto cannon with infinite ammo & missiles that use up ammo etc.

Note that there is a bug on aircraft were the ROT (& I think ROF) setting on the Primary weapon will will also be used by the Secondary weapon. Those setting effect the aircraft's firing pattern & an aircraft can only use one type of pattern, so the game uses the Primary setting for both.
