We should not. Nor should we have a gun loadout at all.
Well, we do. :)

On a related note, we have the Ar 234B. Not the B-1, B-2, or B-2b. I don't see it specified anywhere, so I don't see an issue with an extra harmless loadout to represent something that happened in real life.

We've gone round and round on this for years now, and nothing has changed yet.

Oh, I didn't realize anyone had asked for a DT only load out in years past.

A 2x Drop Tank only loadout would look wonderful on this beauty!

Sure make it an option for any bomber to lift without bombs.... but why wouldn't you want the bomb for a target of opportunity? Can always dump it on the runway.

The Ar 234 was used in a reconnaissance role quite a bit in the war (probably even more so than a bomber role), so it would be nice to have that option, especially in events so the CM team could disable the bomb loadouts. But yes, in a pinch the 2x DT and 1x 500KG could be taken, or it can up without anything underneath.

Why not just drop bombs on runway?  We have done it quite a few times in jabos for fso and scenarios.

So in Events we can disable the bombs but still low drop tanks for recon-style flights.
