Ki-84.  500kg, great climb, acceleration and EZ mode fighter after the ords are dropped.

 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Ill take the jug any day. P-38 loses anything gained when it has to maple leaf down before the drop so it doesn't compress. Plus, if there are wirbs waiting, speed is the key.

Trim is your friend  (but then again, after years of flying it...i just found out that it can carry ords :D)

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.

Sounds like you need to work on how to dive bomb.  If you have to 'maple leaf' down as you make your dive on the target, you are most definitely dive bombing incorrectly or if you get your P-38 into a compressibility (you started your dive too early at to high of an altitude) state.
