@Robtek: so you wanna say that "D.(Luft)T.579/2" printed July 1940 and "D.(Luft)T.579/6" printed October 1940 given out from the german Luftwaffe are wrong?
Don't forget that those early ones doesn't have any heavy armor like the later ones.
And in the "D.(Luft)T.2110C, D und E; Bf 110 C, D und E Flugzeughandbuch Teil 8B Einbau und Prüfung der Abwurfwaffe; Heft 1" from May 1941 on page 5 under "Beschreibung" (description) you find:
"Die Rumpfabwurfwaffe kann beladen werden mit:
2x SC 250 kg Bombe oder
2x SD 500 kg Bombe oder
1x SD 1000 kg Bombe oder
1x SC 1000 kg Bombe und
___________1x SC 250 kg Bombe.
Die Flächenabwurfwaffe kann beladen werden mit:
4x SD 50 kg Bombe oder
4x BD C 10 (BD 10 Bündel mit 5 SC 10) oder
2x S 125 (Nebelgeräte)."
If you count 1xSC1000+1xSC250+4xSD50 together you get 1450kg.
Add the weight of the armor platings from '41 in the Bf 110 and you get your 2000kg.
Or take the Bf 110 D-1: 1050 l Fuel + 106 l Oil in the belly tank and 2x900 l in the ventral tanks = 2956 l >> 2056*0,78 = 2306 kg and thats only fuel/oil! and I didn't add the weight of the empty tanks.
also starting weight: 7,1 t, by overload 9,3 t
So it can carry 2xSD1000 bombs!!
They even made the undercarriage sturdier for that by the C-7.
Even the C-1/B with their weaker undercarriage could be attached with them, but if you could take off in one piece from a grassfield is another question.
