Her armament consists only of 30mm and 20mm cannons, and she is not equipped with any bombs.
The radar in her nose clearly indicates that she is intended for interception.
I really don’t understand.

Gaijin’s classifications are downright fantasy sometimes.

You might want to translate this from a very poor source like wikipedia:
Several experimental models were also developed. The Me 410 B-5 added shackles under the fuselage to carry a torpedo, and removed the MG 131s in the nose to make room for the FuG 200 Hohentwiel 550 MHz UHF-band maritime patrol radar. The bomb bay was not used in this version in order to make room for a 650-litre (170 US gal) fuel tank, and the rearward-firing remote turrets were replaced by another 700 L (180 US gal) fuel tank for long-range missions. The Me 410 B-6 was a similar anti-shipping conversion, but intended for the short-range coastal defence role only. For this mission, it did not use a torpedo, and was instead a simple modification of the B-1 with the FuG 200 radar. The Me 410 B-7/B-8 were updated B-3 reconnaissance models that were only built as prototypes.
Imho gaijin tries to balance the game with spreading air spawns as a result of those classifications. These balancing attempts are not related to irl usage of aircraft and have to be seen seen in context to the BR. Certain nations like US / USSR are optimized to cater mainly rookies, that’s why we have there very often the combination of too low BRs and/or undeserved airspawns.
So what looks like fantasy is fully intended.
