Also like i said in AC the CFA-44 has no hardpoints besides the one for Standard missiles, so you can't really fit anyother type of weaponry on it Erm... It's called Block1 here for a reason. It depends on where PA could put it in the story. It can be anything even without the pod compartments prep ready as long as it's inferior to the real thing since it's a prototype, a work in progress. However, since we're so deep into the story already, we aren't likely gonna get a Block1 but again the main production unit can be very expensive if you imagine all the tech it has for the pods. So, if pilots can benefit from the plane's flight performance, PA can make a version with a more conventional arsenal, or anything they can make up and claim it cheaper. It's really solely up to them if they thought of a Block1 but the odds are currently against the wish.

Also, since you mentioned Mach Storm, FA-44 can fit 6 regular missiles. So, again it's possible to fit ODMM.
