That misses the whole point. Zeros with 250kg bombs (virtually never used operationally, cite even one example) means that online, you see zeros with bombs instead of Vals. Why take a slow, dedicated bomber, when you can take a faster plane with the same load, and it turns into a fighter?
Ditto with the US planes. Operationally in the pacific, F4Us were used as pure fighters for quite a while before they started hanging bombs off them. Online, since every US fighter has a HUGE bombload (bigger than the biggest IJN bomber), bombed up fighters are the norm.
Such a mod would be aimed at online play. A mission designer would have the choice to use the stock SBD with the fantasy loadout, or the fixed one. Or the stock A6M2-21 with the fantasy 250kg bomb if he choses, or the more realistic pure fighter.
