I have a question about the '搭載量' for anyone knowledgeable in Japanese and aircraft terminology. I am just using google translate but in '5_J2M_table.jpg' the note at the bottom seems to say the tests were performed at "全備重量 (Full Weight)". Meaning for the J2M2 including the "Useful load" 2348kg + 862kg "搭載量 (Useful load)" = 3210kg "全備重量 (Full Weight)" Does that exclude things like bombs and external fuel? So would the 3210kg weight only be internal things like guns, ammo, internal fuel etc? Or also including external things like bombs and drop tanks?
Chat GPT said "搭載量 does include external stores, unless the document explicitly says otherwise." To me that would make sense as to the lower speeds and climb seen on this paper as opposed to US numbers. But I really don't have the knowledge to make an informed guess like that. Any help understanding this is appreciated.
