Droop Snoot for P-38J

Since the P-38J is being added to the game  i think it would be nice to see the Droop Snoot as a modification for the P-38. In short the Droop Snoot is a P-38J with a norden bombsight and a extended nose (guns removed of course) it sported high speed and a pretty impressive bombload that rivaled even the early flying fortresses

As already stated in several other posts, I advocate inclusion of a "Droop Snoot" modification to the forthcoming P-38 J.

 

It would be a massive enhancement not only to the Lightning itself, but to the BoBP planeset in general.

 

Many of those were based on P-38 J-15 which I think is the block most appropriate for BoBP.

Production of J-25-LO block commenced in June 1944 with 210 airframes build and 105 out of those converted into F-5E reconnaissance aircraft afterwards.
Therefore only 105 standard P-38 J-25 with 474th FG at low priority compared to the Asiatic-Pacific-Theatre & the MTO - I wouldn't bet on getting this block!
By far the single most numerous J-block produced was the J-15 with 1400 airframes build total, 200 converted into F-5E.
The J-25 had the dive breaks (they didn't recover anything) factory installed, earlier blocks could be modified accordingly. It's likely we get them no matter which block.
