The LF Mk IX could mount a single 250 lb GP bomb under each wing while carrying a 500 lb GP bomb on the centreline hardpoint. At the moment, the LF Mk IX cannot carry either the 250 or the 500 lb GP bomb. Instead, it can mount either the AN-M57 (250 lb) or the AN-M64 (500 lb) on the centreline.

Bombs in the first image appear to be M.C. type rather than G.P. - better to have in War Thunder since they have more explosive yield

please bug report this. British bombs for the most part are already incredibly underwhelming and not having as many as we should makes it worse

Somebody else has already reported the missing bombs for the LF Mk IX (about 6 months ago). I did however create a bug report on the missing external bombs for the Mosquito FB Mk VI.
