The bug was fixed, but the rack was left as having no effect on the aircraft once the bomb was released, as per the last sentence in your post.
I'm just pointing out it was a known bug with the A's that the rack didn't affect the aircraft, though there were/are problems with some of the load outs.
I didn't make a statement declaring anything, just pointed out some know facts.
BTW: the roll rate was/should be affected by removing outer cannons.
