Navair 00-110AA1-5 - A-1H and J Skyraider Standard Aircraft Characteristics - 1 July 1967 and Navweps 01-40ALF-1 Natops Flight Manual A-1H and A-1J aircraft cover both the H and J models and make no variant-specific descriptions. I’m unconvinced that there’s any meaningful difference between this and the A-1H already in-game, but it could be added as a tech-tree variant.

Should be exactly the same as the A-1H, per above. Sans the “special weapon” (toilet carried on the outer pylon) of course, since historically it was an A-1H that pulled the joke.

I’m just hoping to join a tech tree that can be researched, as A-1H is hard to come by. It has the same payload as the A-1H, allowing players to research and obtain.
