Weapons DP for B-29 carrying only incinderies.

Has anyone tried to model incinderies for a B-29 to be used in a the planes DP? Considering a B-29 can carry at least 7 tons or more of incinderies from weights of 6 lbs to I think 250 lbs, wouldn't it take a large number of internal hardpoints/mounts to mount that many bombs even if they were grouped in clusters?
Also, what is the maximum number of weapons hardpoints/mounts both internal and external that a plane can have in the planes DP for CFS2. Just very curious. Thanks.
 
Max number of hardpoints is 24, but they can be configured to release multiple rounds (useful for stuff hidden inside a bombbay).

The only other way is to configure a visual model depicting multiple bombs, but counted by CFS2 as a single "bomb".

The only attempt at depicting lightweight incendiaries was by myself, I included a crude incendiary payload as part of my Alpha Halifax BIII revision:

CFS2 is limited to recognising 4 bomb types, so the blast is overpowered, & it would only generate a single bomb blast on impact. But, it's better thsn nothing....

That's what I kind of figured. Configuring multiple bombs into one is not within my skill set, but I might be able to edit a DP on a different plane with an incendiary payload maybe. Thanks for answering my question.
 
If you're creating some incendiary payloads, I also did some multiple bomb weapons for the smaller bomb types often used as part of incendiary payloads.
