Added, mostly.

I've swapped out the gun for 2x M3s firing 350rnds/g since that's what all the sources say.

Also, as far as I can tell, the AT-33A only had two hardpoints -- so I'm a bit confused by the 8x/4x bomb loadouts (obviously bombs, especially the Mk81, can be multi-loaded onto a single hardpoint, but I don't know that that occurred with the T-33...). This is supported by your sources, which all mention only 2 hardpoints and 2 bombs. Likewise, I don't see any record of the 225 USG drop tank, just the iconic wingtips.

Anyway, I've added a set of loadouts for 2x hardpoints: 14x HYDRA rockets; 2x Mk81s; 2x Mk82s. Also, a second set with the wingtip tangs for longer-range operations.

Feel free to comment if I missed something; loadouts are easy to tweak. Otherwise, I'm gonna call this one closed.

Looks like just the 2x harpoints in this image.
