Sources say less than drop tanks but obviously it limits the airplane to a bomb truck. And if that is the mission, makes sense for long range missions where tankers are either not available or airspace is not permissive.

It actually doesn't limit the mission.... Nothing says you need 9g's to chuck rammers bvr. Hornet is only a 7.5g platform.
