Depending on how HT models the turning radius and roll characteristics it may prove fatal for most P39s if they are done accurately

The P-40B is less of an airplane than the P-39D in many respects. I haven’t flown at all since Tour 66. In that Tour, however, I had a KD of 13:4 in the P-40B, in Tour 65 it was 25:11. If I can get kills in the slower, worse climbing P-40, many should do very well in the P-39D with its additional 37mm. If the P-39Q is modeled it’ll do even better. It’s not an awesome plane, it won’t even own the Early War Arena, but it will be killing and dying with the majority of them.

I've never spent alot of time in the P40B, and I hope that we are all pleasantly supprised by the P39. I just have many reservations. If widewing is correct that the service celling for the 39 is roughly 15k and I think this will be a major weekness, due to the high number of NASA pilots in the game. Down low will it keep up with all of the great turn and burn aircraft. It just seems that no matter what scenerao I think of, I cant find a role that another plane would'nt be better. Which goes back to Bonks statement its not the plane its the Pilot. For those of us who are only OK pilots at best the plane does help even the odds a little.

I would fly for weeks at a time without even hitting 10K in a fighter. At any given time the majority of aircraft in an arena are below 10K.

Here is YOUR point, and I QUOTE YOUR posts on it:

As far as I know WWII and 1945 WWII were indeed the same war. By all means correct me if I'm wrong. With reduards to newer/better vs mass produced/ lengthy service, both mean little to me. I'm looking for usefull!! The P39 will be useless to those who dont spend all night flying around looking for the odd A6M2 to engage.
If newer planes were the main priority then id fly P51D's and 262's and 190D's. The fact of the matter is I tend to shy awat from those newer planes.
I think most have lost sight of the debate and resorted to petty attempts to insult peoples intelligence . I'm not bagging on thoses that voted for the P39. I am simply saying I think we will all regret this waste of a vote.
I was personally hoping for a KI-44 or the Fiat, because we have quite enough US and German aircraft.

Note the BOLD text in the DIRECT quote of your posted drivel.

Again, Lunger drivels more useless Bravo Sierra:

I cant wait to see how many people abandon this thought when their stats fall through the floor. Its just a matter of, how long will their pride keep getting them killed in a P39 before they admit they made a mistake, and wasted a vote.

Ain't it cool how your own words come back to prove how little you understand what you said, never mind what you are talking about?

Let's see. We were voting on a plane to be added. And you claim a vote for the P-39 is a wasted vote. Pretty much makes the P-39 unworthy of a vote, and as such, unworthy of being added to the game. At least, that's the story according to the crap you spewed about in this thread.

I voted for p-39, cause the name sounds cool.

once again you seem to have missed the point, I asked you to quote me saying that i thought they were unworthy. seeing you could not do that you patch togeather a bunch of posts trying to make some sense of your own arguement(failed again). Nice try, you must live by the old addage if you cant dazzle with the truth then baffle them with BS.

Who's fault is that really?

Lunger · « **Reply #103 on:** April 08, 2007, 07:48:16 PM »

nobodys fault just a statement about how many of the best pilots fly early war planes.

I took about 2 minutes to quote your posts stating a vote for the P-39 was a wasted vote. I wouldn't waste 3 hours on you. You can't even muster the courage and dignity to stand behind your own statements. I missed the point? Not hardly. The point is on your head. Empty as it is, at least it has a sharp point. Which is more than can be said for your argument and your position.
