interesting that your bombrelease shortcut did work. last time i checked it ( some time ago i assume) i had to hit the yellow buttons when i switched to bombardier station ( was alone in plane), the shortcut only worked in pilotposition.

I've always armed bombs as a matter of course, as otherwise, why do we have an 'ever ready' option in loadout? Were pins physically removed to arm bombs in flight?
Just checked the joystick shortcut issue offline. The bomb bay doors needed to be opened from the pilot's position using the joystick shortcut, wouldn't work from bomb-aimer position, but the bombs could be dropped by the joystick shortcut from the bomb-aimer's seat.
Needs to be checked online for differences, because of course when we were online, I have no proof that the bombs were dropped at all!
