Well, the slot map should use the C model strafer most of all. While the G's and H's did serve in the area, their contribution was pretty small compared the the C models. In most cases, the 75mm nose gun was removed and replaced by twin 50's. The recoil from it was pretty bad, and the reload time was worse.
The main reason I emphasized using the H as the starting point was that it has the appropriate nose armament, minus the 75mm. My reasoning was we could use the H slot, and make it look like the C model by swapping the nose and tail from the C model. The H didnt have the ventral turret, so there wouldnt be a problem there. The only bad thing about using the H model is that you can't carry parafrags, but it does have the capability of carrying HVARS. To me, losing the ability to carry parafrags isnt that big a deal, since we dont have the historic loadout numbers, and the AI cant low level bomb either.
just my 2 cents.
of course, in a perfect world, we could just add the dedicated C model strafer
