Please fix the P-40 damage model!

Up a P-40 (any of both models) and get shot at. You'll find 90% of the bullets will hit either the flaps or guns!

From my understanding, this has been a bug for a great deal of time now. Would be nice to see it fixed!

@ Frank.  This has been a problem for years and there have been many complains about it.  Yours will have the same results as the previus.  I don't think they will get to it before corectly modeling the trees and the trains.  Too, bad cause it is a fun plane.  (Ki61 has similar issues)

Haven't seen much requests about the P-40 lately, thought I'd blow it a new life

[dedalos]

I think they are fixed now Frank

Really? How do you know?

I was going to just do a 'Bump' but that is against the rules

[frank3]

You have a nice way bumping then

they need to bring the p40n model to the game

[frank3]

There wouldn't be much useage of the other models after adding the N version

[Urchin]

Even if they added the N, there wouldnt be much P-40 use.

there was alot of p40 out there during the war. At least give me the top of the line model.  I mean there so rare that when u see one u hav to read the id a couple of times to make sure its right.  Its like the 47s.  I never see nothing but the last to models i never see a razor back.  The Yes the n would over shadow the e and b but maybe a very upgraded n model will attract more pilots.  That p40 couldnt have been that bad

If every single ping did not mean a damaged flap and a plane that can't fight any longer, I'd be in it every day.  Same goes for the Ki61.  Same goes for the C202 but it is the engine on this one.  1 ping and it is gone.  

Before anyone replyies to this, try to remember that it is a game and that for some reason these planes have a different damage model.  Why even have them i n the list?

Keep in mind, Ded, that the planes you listed are some of the oldest of the "old." C202, Ki61, and P40b are some of the oldest models in the game, right down there with the d3a, and the other aircraft that only have a 256 default skin size.

That might be why they are so quirky with their damage models -- they're just out of date.

Just wanted to say, the p40 is in my opinion the best plane in the game and the only plane i can ever get kills in, so yes give us the N model. and let P40s take off from carriors cuz i saw pictures of them taking off from cv's. can make the B models guns more effective, its a bit rediculous that it takes like a billion shots to kill something. oh yeah and the B model did not have the reflective gun sight, so get rid of it. and uuuummm...update it too like they did with the spits and 190s and stuff. lastly accept my P40 skin that i made.
