LOL, my squad just did a P40 only night in LWBlue. Base defense with 4 P40s is SO much fun. A touch outlassed, but non-stop laughin all the way!

P 40s arn't that bad. They dive well, retain E pretty good and turn like monsters with the high speed flaps. I've been flying the E a lot lately and have come to respect it. If you can handle it, you can mix it up with a lot of the LW rides. If you have alt, you can substitute extra gravitational energy to make up for it's limited power. Just like the clip of the Niki kill. Alot of LW rides just squirm around trying to get angles. Noobs don't know what hit em.

wats the point in it? Whats the point in the Hurricane 1? Or spit 1? Or LA5? Or Ju88? Whats the point, we got better planes! The point is that they are fun to fly, and can also turn the tables on any LW fight! Ok, the 88 may not be able to, but you could try! I can LA7's and Spit 16's in my Spitty 1, and if I was a better shot, Id be able to kill loads as well. The P40 is the same as every plane in the game. Takes a bit of getting used to, but a killer in the right hands. I bet it could hold its own in the LW arenas. I say bet caus Ive never taken it up and tryed it. But if a spitty 1 can, then surely a P40B can. Ive seen one fly about and get a few kills.

The only problem I ever had with flyin' a P40 is that it wasn't fast enough to make someone stay and fight. The EW arena solved that problem for me. :)

Then again, it's amazing flaps and it's dive speed make it a surprisng plane for it's speed. It's also quite a tough ride.

Not really.  the only reason I don't fly it every day is the damage model.  HT has installed this huge magnets under the flaps.  It seems that every ping results in flap damage and a useless plane.
Nice plane until you get pinged

Well, the P40 is huge, therefore it must have huge flaps. Rip and tear!

Joking aside, why DOES it have such vulnerable flaps?

I have no clue, but if you get hit with the flaps down you are done.

It seems certain planes have their "thing".  Some planes get radiator hits alot. Others the pilot. P40s is flaps.  Im not sure, but there seems to be two different effects for the flaps in the 40.  Either being down and hit, or maybe its when retracted, it tends to have a super lean to one side that makes fighting very hard. The more minor effect just seems to make it not have the flap to use.
