That's what I've been saying here since the first post. Right now, there's no reason to fly the J in Aces High II, since it's exactly the same as the L but with worse roll and dive. Realistically, it should be a bit lighter, and that would give people a reason to fly it instead of the P-38L. Both realism and balance would improve if the two had their historical weight difference.
It must be a 38J state of mind then, as lots of guys fly the J and seem to do quite well.
And in that same state of mind idea, the 38J flies differently then the L does when I've flown them.
If for some reason I give up my beloved 38G for a flight it's the J I take because it feels closer to the G then the L does.
Entirely possible it's all in my head, but I'd swear they 'fly' differntly
