NO!!!!

Thanks, I've been wanting to say that all day ;)   In truth it'd be allright I hear the Sapp guys are running low on spare planes and a happy Sapp is a good Sapp.

As the #1 P-38 fanatic in AH, it's sad to say but I don't see the value in adding the H other then for scenario or FSO use.  We already have the definitive models of the P-38, adding the H would be nice but would be superfluous. 

Though, I'd be in favor of adding the F model.

Why not both? =) The H had the J's engines with the same poor cooling but more HP, and a higher bomb capacity than the G. The F? It was the first "combat" 38, so of course!

Sad part is the photo the OP posted is actually a J model.

Sure I'd like an H or and F to add skins, but the 38G is the most numerous of the small intake 38s and covers the ground well, and I love 38s.

Wouldn't adding "H" be like adding the P-47M where we have the "N"? Yes, I do know we have the M

From what I gather, adding the H would be just like giving the P-38G the performance of the P-38J.

LOL. A real properly modeled P-38K would bring much moaning, wailing, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments. One was built, and one test mule was converted, both are lost to history, with the only photo being of the converted mule. It'd be a Hell of a perk ride.

I think the P-38H is a valid request, as is a P-38F. Considering we have other planes with 4-5 models, the P-38 is entitled to the same.

However, there are a lot of other planes that should be added before any more variants are added to any line up.

I thought that was the case, but since my eyes are getting older, I was looking for that photo with a caption somewhere to confirm it before I spoke.

Explain to me what the H would do that the J doesn't?

More skins? 

I'm being to lazy to look up the specific changes between the G, H and J.

Enlighten and educate me.
