We could ask for the Lancaster loadout "Window", which was just  small foil stips that were dropped at altutude to create a large contact and overwelm enemy radar screens.  That could be modeled in AH.

Are you that egotistical that everything has to be about you?

Wonder if they could also model/add something to simulate the difficulty in tracking Mossies with radar.

Wasn't there a special 38 that could carry 2 torps, 10 rockets, 4-1000 lbs bombs and the pilot had the option of tossing a small tactical nuke out of the cockpit if ordnance didn't work out?  I know I read about it somewhere on the internet, it has to be true.

Actually, in all seriousness, wasnt there A P-38 with a plexi-glass nose and a bombsight? It wasnt standard I dont think, but they were used commonly. I know I have a picture of it in one of my books. I can dig it up if you would like?

The Droop Snoop/Pathfinder version of the Lightning is what you're referring to.  It had the glass nose for a bomberdier and bombsite.

:rofl :lol :rofl :lol :rofl :lol

Go grab a book.  P38D was a early model 38 with a 37mm instead of a 20mm.  The 38H was a 38 with the speed of 38J and the turning of 38G.  38 with 6x50s was a field mod.  38L superstrafer was a experiment.  These 38s did exist.  I still dont understand why our 38L doesnt have the tail warning system.

Edit: Obviously you didnt do a deep research...
