And yes u r right again Gorf, the P-61 did play a role in Bomber missions, and yes it could carry 4000lbs in ord. not to mention its 4 20mm FF Cannons, as well as its Top Turret w/4 50cals.
The P-61 is no more of a bomber than a P-38, P-51 or P-47 was. Like a lot of U.S. fighters, the P-61 was used on occassion to attack ground targets like trains, convoys, etc.
Also like I pointed out, the lack of any real night time modeling and the absence of plane mounted radar would make the P-61 rather useless. If HiTech was going to add modeling for night time or plane mounted radar than the P-61 might have a place.
