From R2, p.133

internal mounts

1 firmpoint for the rack, 2 cf for "mounting actuators",
then 3 missiles per 2 cf, the vehicle cannot carry more

external mounts

ground vehicles: number of missiles equal to body rating,
this reduces signature by one
aircraft: number of missiles equal to body rating, every
two missiles reduce signature by one, no more than 300kg
alltogether per aircraft mount, no more missiles than it's
loadrating, too
