P-39 finally, pls. It was an ace ride for VVS. Of the main fighter aircrafts of the WW2 it is probably the last, which has not been modeled yet, not a single version. Please, close this gap.

I voted for it.

Me to, bring on the P-39. It was there from the start to finish.

oboe · « **Reply #3 on:** September 13, 2007, 09:09:13 AM »

Yes, please. D and Q, if possible...

I voted for it as well.

If three models are allowed, I'd ask the D, N, Q.

If only two, then the N and Q.

P39 yes.The B25 has only been out for a short while but not alot of people are flying it P39 would be better more fun.More of difficlut you can say.With only 30 37mm canon rounds and 4 .50cals it's great.The 50 cals alone can kill a fighter.People that like to hold their fire untill the right shot would love this fighter.Get up close and pop them w/ the canon or reach out and touch them 600 out.And with bombs It would be a good ground pounder.Myself and others would love to see the P39 in the game.Would be more fun then the B25 i think.

You'd have to have the D since its the most needed scenario wise...the Q-25 would probably be the definative "late model". I know that there was one variant of the Q or N that had the 1400+ hp allision in it that did 398+

The P-39 could be very interesting if we got some of the late models. Here is a quote from WW in an earlier thread on engines for the P-39. Most common websites show the same "stock" numbers for the P-39...however the M, N & Q all had variations with the Allison V1710-83 & V1710-85 engines...which were rated at 1420 hp and gave the P-39s so equipped better climb and speed numbers then the la-5....

I've copied WW's 411 as well as the russian website I found back then....

Installed in the P-39M, P-39N and P-39Q, both the V1710-83 and V1710-85 were rated at 1,420 hp at 3,000 rpm @ 57" MAP.

It gets better... The V1710-63 installed in the P-39K and P-39L was rated at 1,590 hp at 3,000 rpm @ 61" MAP.

Now, the V1710-93 installed in the P-63A was rated at 1,820 hp at 3,000 rpm @ 75" MAP with water injection.

See Dean's, America's Hundred Thousand.

Oh, and some P-63s saw limited combat against the Luftwaffe as part of a combat evaluation. Later, some Soviet P-63s saw combat briefly against the Japanese in the last week of the war.

My regards,

There's many planes I want but this is the most needed IMO.
