OK, first the answer: You Can't

Next, the explination: OK, this is how things work, any pylon, wether it be for a bomb or rocket has the ability to release 1 weapon attached to it, or all weapons attached to it, as standard you're set to release all (denoted by the R for Ripple), by pressing the 8 you can set this to Single (denoted buy the S).

Now, here's the thing, since almost everyones bomb mounts only carry 1 bomb, it gets released wether you press 8 or not, cause it's the only bomb attached there. If you had a TERs mount with 3 hardpoints on a single pylon you could release 1 bomb/torpedoe/missile from 1 hardpoint on that pylon.

A way I first got rounf this problem was to build a pylon with 11 hardpoints that spanned the wingspan of the aircraft, because this is actually a single mount it allowed me to drop 1 bomb at a time, problem is, if you lose a wing tip, or win, the pylons hardpoints are still there.

If I haven't explain well enough heres an example.

The A10 has 10 pylons, 4 only have a single hardpoint, and 6 have TERS with 3 hardpoints, so, a max loadout of 22 bombs.

Now, when I select bombs and press 8, then arm them, on the first bomb run when I press the release the single hardpoint pylons release their single bombs, the TERS mounts release the weapon attached to hardpoint 1 on the remaining 6 pylons, so I release 10 bombs, leaveing 12 bombs still attached to the TERS, then next release drops from hardpoint 2 on those 6 mounts, meaning 6 drop, and 6 remain.

The thing is, with the torpedo you don't want TERS you need a mount like I first created, but it does have problems as I stated above.

You could ofcourse build a pylon with 2 hardpoints, thereby letting you place 2 torps on it and fit it only to that wing section where they should be, then atleast you'd only drop 2 out of the 4 and if the wing became detached the mount goes with it so it doesn't look freaky.

Well, hope thats understandable.. LOL, I probably went over the top trying to clarify it.
