Currently its exactly the opposite of what makes sense and what creates balance for the tech tree:
- in BR2 this plane is an attacker, well balanced out with other viable fighter planes and logical with its 6 rockets
- in BR3 this suddenly becomes a fighter plane, although there are other fighter planes of the P38 family already in BR3 without the rockets
- in BR3 muricans the best plane for attacker duty is the p51 fighter plane, all other attacker planes are just straight up worse at attacking
→ these and other problems are solved by simply changing this ones plane designation.

BR2 P38 with m8 rockets is both fighter and attacker plane. (P-38G and P-38G-1)
It only depends on whether it is a legacy or TT version, the versions differ very slightly.

IMO the P38 tree (except for the guns only one) should be locked to one plane class or another,they preform just about the same even though they are in different roles,and thats to say quite good,which leads them to,in my experience,be spammed.

the main reason they are spammed is that america has painfully worse attacker planes than fighter planes besides them for BR3 and lower. that forces everyone to use the P38s

The J-15 is a far better dogfighter than the G and G-1 models so I think its fine where its at but its loadout should be 2 100 bombs instead of M8s
