Pick one variant of an existing unit you would like to see added

[SilverZ06]

The glass nose p-38 with bombadier...So we can score these as the bombers they are   

The second major variant was the Droop-Snoot conversion (see Image 7 below). This variant had it's armament removed and the entire nose rebuilt with a glass nose to accomodate a bombadier. The unfortunate bombadier spent the entire trip lying prone within the nose and his chances for bail out were slim at best. The Droop-Snoot would lead a formation of P-38L's loaded with bombs. The L's would drop thier bombs when the Droop-Snoot did.

You forgot the P-38H, of which there were a couple of wishes for that plane in this thread.

They were inevitably included with the P-38F and I simply took the one listed first.  One vote per person.  Well, there is a vote for the P-38H, but that was posted after I posted the current tally.

Sea-Hurri (or just enable the Hurri's we have now on CV's, no need for a hook, they're not hard to stop on the deck)

It depends on what is meant by a variant.

Curtiss Hawk75A was in many ways its own plane time and was designated as P-36 opposed to P-40 which followed it but as far as the art work and partially flight characteristics go, it can be considered a variant. So if that qualifies, I'd pick the Hawk.

Second choice would be Ki-61-Ia/b (+Mauser mod.).

ANY of the early war Brewster variants needs to be added. 

The variant in AH is already as early as it gets. B239s first fired their guns in anger in June '41, Pacific War was still almost half a year away.

Swapping out some weight, engine torque/HP, and some gun options cant be all that time consuming in comparison.

Later variants had more power and weight, not the other way around.

There are no changes in the frame or wings or anything, just the weight, engine, and guns.

Doesn't work quite that easily. Just for an example. There were differences in the length of the fuselage between variants. But as this is a thread about variants, later variants of the Brewster are certainly within the scope of this thread.
