This page has a list and description of nearly every item that can be put on a pylon in Arma. NOTE: You can toggle control of the pylon between pilot & gunner by clicking the little pilot/gunner icon next to the weapon name. As a general rule, you should assign pylons as follows:
Pilot:
- Air-to-Air Weapons
- Rockets
- Fixed Guns
Gunner/Weapons Officer:
- Air-to-ground missiles (AGMs)
- Bombs
- Sensors
- Turreted Guns
Western Aircraft
Helicopters
