True, but doesn't seem like it would be a WHOLE lot of work to model. Fit the nose of the C with its glass and strafer options to the fuselage of the H, and add an additional strafer package with four more .50s in the nose.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

And program a new flight model.  Oh yeah... That programming thing....

Of course. 

Because i totally dont want 18 fifty cals for strafing or some overkill when attacking planes. That would just be ridiculous.  :P

I need 18.

Any less than that and it would be almost suicide to attack anything but a C-47.  :D

You don't need 18 machine guns on a bomber so you can attack other aircraft with it.  Use a fighter and let HTC put resources towards things that are needed.

+1 on the B-25J.  No reason not to add it, we already have the C and H anyway.
