P-38H
« on: February 02, 2007, 08:58:51 PM »
P-38H is the mid-grade P-38G and P-38J.  P-38H is basically a P-38G with an engine of P-38J

The P-38H is the plane that Combat Tour needs for the early USAAF/USAAC part of the tour. It is the plane both the 20th and 55th FG's went operational in. It would probably make the logical 4th P-38 model, if you figure that many of the popular planes have 4 or so models available.

It does have a performance advantage over the P-38G. I figure that HTC won't do it though, as the P-38J began trickling into the 20th and 55th FG's about two months after they went operational, and they probably figure the P-38G is close enough for the first two months of the tour. If you perform well on the first two months of the tour, you'll probably get a P-38J early in the tour. I'd like to see the P-38H added, but I'm not betting we'll get it, the P-38 has been reworked recently, so even though it wouldn't be a massive rework, they'll probably skip it.

I'm surprised after the repeated whippings I gave you in the MA, you still hold onto that rather silly notion.  I would have showed you some more but you wussed out when you challenged me to the DA.

This from the same guy that challenged me to attack his B-17s and see how deadly they are when he had about a 1:16 K : D in it that tour.

Yes, hes really does know what hes talking about... :rolleyes:
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Shhh! Don't tell them about our plans to completely irradicate the P51 from Aces High and replace them with more P38 options!

P38 is the only plane you need.
we have 3 fighter/attack variants
We need the P38J Droopsnoot to fill our bomber needs.
