Much to my chagrin, while working on a couple of missions, I discovered that AI apparently always dump their bomb payloads (internal or external) before landing. This quite frustratingly prevents me from using them as resupply units for bombs and I am assuming torps. I am afraid to ask this because I am already guessing the answer, but does anyone know of a way to get AI to KEEP their bombs while landing?

Having spoken with Friar, and having racked my brain (and search a little bit on the web) I think that this is not possible. The AI are for some reason programmed to eject bombs (not sure about drop tanks) before landing.
Fortunately the reason I wanted it was to enable air replenishment of bombs which I realized I can do via cargo drops, so no sweat.
If anyone figures out a way to get planes to hold onto bombs anyway, be sure to post it.

What if you get them to drop their bombs below 40m / 2 sec arming delay? They won't explode then, so they do get ' delivered' in a way ;-)

Don't laugh! I thought of that and THOUGHT maybe I saw they were listed as returned when dropped from a parked aircraft. If this worked it would be fine for me. I'll test it out.
