How does it look like a field fit anymore than the rockets on the P-38G or P-38J?

Further, they are crappy rockets mounted on a mediocre airplane, so they won't have much effect on the game other than being a toy for fans of the mediocre airplane.  Let them have their toy.

Oh come now, since when does how well a plane performs determine if it receives historically accurate ordnance?  I was hoping to see the variant with the 4/100 lb bombs.

I'll take it up a notch, the P40N also flew with a single Thousand pound bomb, normally they flew with two 300lb or 500lb bombs if not a single of either.

No you couldn't.  They are, as I mentioned, the crappy 4.5" rockets. In addition, the 1000lb bomb would not be AP.  It would be the same GP 1000lb bomb found on other American aircraft.
