No, it doesn't take much. You can select a different maneuvering category that basically limits control surface movements, but it doesn't limit the number of g's you can pull. Fortunately, the airplane feels a little heavier when your carrying real ordinance, so you tend to be a little more "gentle". It is kind of like driving a pickup with a full load in the back. You just take things a little more easy.

That sounds exactly like what my buddy who flies A-10s told me once. I have some friends who have flown the B-2 and B-52, and they described the BUFF as driving an 18-wheeler whereas the B-2 is almost like a Cadillac.
