Ar234 - Drop tanks without centerline 500kg

[Spikes]

Would it be possible to give the Ar234 the 2x DT loadout without the centerline 500kg bomb?

+1

A bump for good luck...

Do you want this config for air to air combat?

[bustr]

I thought that was the load out for the recon version.

No, but if using the Ar234 in a proper recon role it would be nice to allow it to take drop tanks without the bomb.

It would be. The B-1 was recon and the B-2 was the bomber.

Bump for visibility!

NO!

NO!

No what?

The rear cannon should be gone. Forward cannon was a thing. Rearward cannon never happened. The recon version, from all documentation, never existed.

No what?

What does this have to do with a drop tank only loadout?

Did you read what I posted?

Yes. Ar 234s did run recon missions, though. I do not know what model it was with. That's not really the point here anyway.

The Arado we have flew missions with bombs. Without bombs it doesn't sortie. Are you worried about score, as the reason for not launching with a bomb and dumping it on the rwy?

[Spikes]

Nope, I am not worried about score. However, I am worried about providing realistic setups and scenarios in the events I put on the table. By your logic, why do we have a load out with no bombs for it?

[Chalenge]

We should not. Nor should we have a gun loadout at all.
