You can't maintain G while defending with the bombs. The bombs limit you to 5.5 G's. I absolutely want more than that available if I'm going into a last ditch. I always briefed a jettison plan which usually consisted of going to the merge (dependent on the threat), battle damage and unable to maintain a tactical airspeed, or last ditch.
