In reference to the ballast tanks,it looks like a sophisticated setup such as that with all of the installed control gear would clearly indicate that it's for simulating different load configurations in different positions. If it was set up just to spray **** out of the plane it wouldn't have to be anyway near a sophisticated.
They are for exactly that. Anyone who knows anything about aircraft know that getting loads correct an fuelling right are the difference between it crashing or flying. Those tanks allow engineers to move water around and shift the COG in flight.
This video is of a 747 cargo aircraft taking off from Afghanistan. Its load inside broke free and slid down the back of the aircraft knocking its CoG out and causing it to crash, when it wollows thats when the load slipped.
