DRG will become famous soon enough
Default B-17 Bomb load

I have been looking for this info on and off all morning and I have NO DOUBT now that I've posted the question I will find the answer BUT........in case I don't.........the B-17 could carry .................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fragmentation Bombs

Used as anti-personnel bombs during ground force support attacks, these 20lb M41's were fitted in 120lb and 500lb clusters.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



How many of theses clusters could typically be carried ( by a B-17 )? I'm thinking those photos show a 500 pound cluster........I have no doubt somebody has this info but I keep finding generalities but I seem to be narrowing it down

I'm setting up a "game version" of this and that's restricted by 4 weapon slots and I have a good idea on how to handle this but further info would allow me to tune it in so it's at least close.
