  LOL! The sims depends on the modders. Really.
  
  I bought Falcon 4 ages ago, but i patched it with mods that real viper pilots had a hand in developing. So a lot of the stuff (at least unclassified ones) are as real as simulations can get.
  
  In the case of CBUs, not only can u decide how many to drop a time, eg, singles, pairs or the whole rack at a time, u can also set the release pulse. Meaning, if u were to pickle the whole rack, the timing inbetween each release, eg, 1 sec apart, etc. And u can set the release altitude of the cluster munitions.
  
  All these come useful when u need to carpet a whole area.

  U don't need GPS guided CBU-87s to do that. U need a FAC to tell u where to put the bombs.

  Okay. What about longshot on a MK84?
  What is the max nos. of MK84 that a F-15 can carry?

  I've no information on the Longshot, but i found a site that has something on it.
  http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/longshot.htm
  
  The absolute max no. of mk84s u can put on a strike eagle is 6. 6 2000lb bombs... is a lot of damage... haha.

  Hmm... the site said that the longshot wing kit can only cater for up to 1000lb munitions. So only the MK82 can be fitted with the kit.
  
  Hopefully ST can come out with something that can be use with the MK84. Its gonna be a hell lot of a punch.
