NELL bombload

I have found this, manual from 1942:

Ok, MTB part is quite interesting, I do not know, if there is actually 70 MTBs in the map/production at the game beginning, but anyway, TACTICS part is FAR more interesting.

Type 96 seems to be NELL.
So, how actually do I change its bombload? It carries torpedo originally.
I have changed plane capacity, and it did not changed its used bombs (actually sometimes they were using SAP, not GP).
I have changed long-range bombload, but normal-range was still the same.
I tried to use 500kg bomb, in ALTERNATE field of torpedo device, but it hang the whole game, when I tried to show plane statistics.

So, is it hardcoded?

You don't have to do anything. If the Nell doesn't have torpedoes available, it defaults to 2 x 250kg (550 lbs) AP or GP iron bombs. It is hard-coded.

Arrghh, too bad.
Is it possible to give it bombs, as standard load, and use torpedo as alternative?

Probably not [:(]

You'd have to ask a dev member that, as it deals with the code and I do not have any clues about the code. I just know what it does in the case of torpedoes not being available.
