Meh, I don't care if someone wants to revive this thread. I'm bored, anyway. Might as well jump back into it.

The P40 was a worthless POS in WW2 - even WW2 vets have said that. And no better in AH, it would seem.

Actually BzN in a P40 isnt all that great. You can dive from altitude many thousands of feet and start a climb back up, and have the LA7 you dove on climb up to you.

   In my opinion it works best to fly it defensibly and sucker in the victims. But like others have said, like many planes in here you cant hop in one and expect 5 kills every mission. You need to fly it alot. Everything from learning what you can outrun, (not many) and what you can't(most) to learning how to aim, using flaps,avoiding hits.

   Some people would never like it though as it doesnt have cannon and it isnt a speed queen. Its really for the people who fly for the fight.

Now don't get me wrong, the P40B does fly well, but 2x .30's and 2x .50's isn't exactly ideal. But the E, while it does have an OK gun package, does not seem to turn well enough to be able to fight most of the "normal" planes encountered in the latewar arenas.

Now this isn't a "ong i can't kill shat in teh p30 nerfperkupgrade!!!1" type post, but rather a question: What purpouse does the P40 serve in this game beyond early war setups?


Early war planes can be some of THE funnest most exhilarating rides in aces high. the P40 and hurri1 are my joyrides :D

I landed 2 scalps in LW today in P40-E.

Nice ride.
