in this link that was posted in the landing gear lock thread there is a photo 8 that shows a D-9 with small bomb racks under each wing. So my question is, was this a standard feature and just not modelled in game or as a D-9 may be a cobbled up airframe using existing A-8 wing parts etc, is it a one off/field mod. My current understanding is that the plane can have a bomb only on the center line rack. And also can some one reccommend a decently priced FW book that cover pretty much all types.

Evidently it had a ETC 504 rack allowing for a drop tank to be fitted. I've also read that a SC250 could be carried.

I'm sure someone has more research on this somewhere...

A Dora with bomb carrying could be useful. So would a FW190F-9 with Panzerblitz anti-tank rockets.

I think this video shows a 190 D9 taking off with a bomb (clearest at 13 seconds): http://blip.tv/videos-by-mysticpuma-now-showing-checkertails-part1/near-disaster-on-luftwaffe-109-and-190-take-off-real-video-footage-4821582

Those are ETC-50 racks, Rüstsatz 5 for the D-9.
