Leovampire,

The Zero virtually never carried bombs. It had wing mounts for 1 60kg bomb on each wing, but if they were used at all, it would be a specific attack. That said, I've not read of any such attacks ever happening. They carried a single 250kg bomb, but only when outfitted as suicide planes. Zeros should have no bombs.

All japanese planes had abysmal bomb loads compared to American planes. The G4M "Betty" carried 800kg of bombs, total. The "Val" a single 250kg bomb, and 2x60kg. The "Kate" 800kg.

All the bomb loads in stock SH4 for japanese planes are not just wrong, but grossly wrong. They all carry way too many, and too much weight.

For maritime patrol, planes would carry lighter loads as well to increase range.
