B-25J would allow the Mitchell to have a glide torpedo as an orndance option.

I don't care for the rare or test packages like torpedoes, but what I would like is the level bomber glass nose but with a tail gun, and the option for the solid strafer package with 8 in the nose and 4 in the cheeks, 12 guns total fixed firing forward. Those 2 options standout for the B-25J.

Oh yeah, have to have a strafer B25J also. Many good skinning opportunities for that.

Seafire Mk XV was too late for the war.

I don't have the exact date but I know it entered service in 1944, and as far as I remember it flew in PTO.

It came too late to see any front line service during the war.

You might be right about that.

I don't have any books with me right now so I can't confirm.

Lots of the variants suggested seem to have performance or functionality that overlaps planes that already exist within the game.

I'm hoping for variants that bring something different that what we already have.
