Title: Trading Fuel for Bomb Load
Post by: Samiam on July 01, 2002, 03:56:03 PM
I haven't seen this discussed before:

Shouldn't bombers have a maximum payload that they can carry that includes fuel and bombs?

It doesn't make sense that a B17 can carry 6K in bombs whether it is at 100% fuel or 25% fuel. It seems that you should be able to trade fuel for extra bomb load. For example, I've read that with wing racks, the B17G had a bomb payload of over 12K, but with a greatly reduced range.
