What is up with the ME210-A1 loadouts?

You guys have 2 slots taken up and not available until Jan 1946?

Having the optional weapons configurations is intriguing though... if it was only usable.

I believe the following depicts the actual loadouts (as far as bomb...).

If i had to guess, the 1946 loadouts may have been exclusively used against the western allies (pretty sure they're usable in WitW). Delaying them to 1946 was likely a quick-and-dirty way to disable them in WitE2 without deleting them from the loadout list. Can't speak to the accuracy/reasoning for the other bomb loadouts.

Well guys, this is WiTE2. I could care less about maintaining whatever hypothetical load-out for some WiTW variant - especially if it is costing me WiTE2 functionality - such as the 1000 kg bombs.

I may only use it once, but still want the option if I chose so.

Two aircraft variants in the series were built simultaneously: a high-speed Me.410A-1 bomber and a Me.410A-2 "destroyer" (Zerstörer). Both variants had the same armament, similar to that of the Me.210A-1.

One 1,000 kg PC 1000, SD 1000, or SC 1000 bomb, two 500 kg bombs, or eight 50 kg bombs could be suspended in the bomb bay. The plane's standard bomb load was determined to be 500 kg. The Me.410A-1 was equipped with a special Stuvi 5B sight for dive bombing and tandem pairs of ETC bomb racks under the wing roots with four 50 kg bombs, two under each panel. Two 250 kg bombs could be suspended under the wings with the help of special Aussen ETC shackles.

EDIT:

Sorry, this really sounded not-so-nice. But still, don't take away WiTE2 features simply to store unusable WiTW load-outs.

There was no Me 410A-2, I believe the standard SD/SC 1000 did not fit into the bomb bay, just the smaller PC
