Yes the M was nice if you like that. I like the L the two seat set, but that is just me. Radar needs two sets of eyes and at night that is all the better.
If you read up on the P-38 the proposed K might make you smile.
But this is or should be for the Black Widow!! And here firepower was better then the Lightening!
The P-38J was more versatile than the -38K, it had better low altitude performance. The -38K would never take over, it was a more refined High Altitude Interceptor but it wasn't better, actually worse, at doing the other tasks a J could do.
The Mosquito NF had a better combat record and was better in ability than the Beau. The Mosquito had the best combat record out of any NF, but the -262 was a better nightfighter in ability.
best combat record (Mosquito) Allied correct ? The Bf 110G-4 probably did more combat operations than any other night fighter in the war even though by fall of 1944 the aircraft was derilict..............most successfull the ever present IV./NJG 1 with NJG 1 the overall leader with 2173 night kills and 145 day kill, few with the Ju 88G and maybe 40 with the He 219.
