It's a cool looking bird. I see that it has the ability to carry a 37mm in the nose. What's the other armament involved?

along with the 30 37mm rounds of the hub gun.The P 39 had 4 .50 cals.It depends on the version of the P39 but the 4 .50 cals alone for a few kills.

uhm..

x2 .50's
x4(or 2) .30's
x1 37mm

or x4 .50 (?)

and in limited use with the british they changed the cannon for a 20mm.
"main reason being the 37mm at that time only held 15 rounds vs. the later 30, the 20mm only held 60 rounds aswell."

I hear refrence to x4 .50's and i see that gun setup only in the p-63 King cobra.

I love the P-39 but I have to go with the G-55 and everyone know that I will vote for that.

Are you basing this on your overwhelming knowledge of World War II aircraft or just parroting what you've read on these boards?

ack-ack

The fact that Pokryshkin flew this beautiful "White 100", is enough to ask for a P-39N instead of any other variant.

The most beloved P-39 variant, of the most successful P-39 pilot in WW2 history, who is also the one of the top-scoring pilots of the VVS, who also lists the top 10 scores achieved by the entire Allies, who flew and fought in the most important theater of conflict where the P-39 was used in large numbers..

..what better reason than this to promote the P-39N ?!

Give us the D, N, Q!

If only two, "hell no" to D and Q - give us N and Q !!

N and Q, yes

N & Q, indeed.

No on the vader, way more historically important AC to be added first.

BS I see the B-25 in use every time I log on. Usually popping gvs and town busting.
