lol good pic explaining what it takes to put a plane into AH. Lot of behind the scenes work and coordination to get one together.

Or is the image possibly an obtuse hint that the P-39 is just the tip of the next AH release iceberg??

It's amazing, and I know it happens anytime we get a new plane that isn't uber,  but don't condemn the 39 before we even get it.

All kinds of whining in the arena today.  All kinds of Wings Channel 'facts' being spewed about how terrible the 39 was, how little it was used, all it's problems etc.

Folks complaining about our airplane?

Could be the HO King.  FWAP!  Take that Mr. LA7 and Niki!!

I hope it flies like the P40E but with a big ol cannon. Its only 1 less P than the P40 so its gotta be close right?

Looks like our resident Yak9T aces will have a great time landing kills in the P39.

Overall it should be better then the equivelent P-40 across the board. IMO even the D will be a formidable foe (in good hands) at the normal fighting alts here. The D has 2 x .50 and 4 x .30 seperate from the 37mm (or 20mm). Combine that with good low alt performance, good dive and zoom and an excellent sustained turnrater augmented by both good roll rate and the benifit of a "squirrley" FM/COG and its a dangerous plane.

Admit it, you are upset because HT is not introducing another twin engine buff

Wrong oh wings of wax!  It's got an Allison engine in it, and I am quite used to flying around with a single Allison engine running

I won't fly 39, it is too slow. I can't run in it to save my vulch kills.

Frank and truethful at least.

I'm looking forward to the P-39. I can remember building a 1/48 scale monogram model of the plane when I was much younger. As I recall that particular plane never lost a fight until it took several .177 cannon rounds and the wing fell off. Curse my big brother and his friends!!!

Any new plane is better than no new planes!

And really people, if there is a ride you really wanna see in here, just keep asking and asking and praying and wishing with all your heart, and one day HTC will make your dreams come true, just look how happy the BISH are now that they have their sheep back!:aok

Got one. -) Need more.

Think that HTC will have a 20mm option for the P-39D, if we get it, for the P-400?

At least 150 P-39D fighters were delivered from the factory, with the 20mm Hispano installed. These were in addition to the P-400s. Many of the Pacific P-39 aces flew 20mm P-39Ds.

my "hanger queen whine" in the p39 thread first page was more like a "2 weeks" reply in a CT thead. a joke
