Should we save it a spot right next to the B-25 ?

I'll give it a go. Sounds similar to the Yak9T I fly a lot against tanks. Don't know if I'll stick with it until I try it out.

I don't think so.

As many have stated its strengths were low altitude and it has a tater.  Should turn ok too.

Not a hangar queen.

The 25's not a hangar queen.  

A better question is "will players in aces high ever improve their dogfighting so that they might capitalize on something else than ufo planes?".  As it is, there are plenty of very capable birds that get no use because they require the player to learn their specific quirks/strengths/weaknesses.

This leaves the majority of the planeset very under-used.

I don't see too many 25C's, but the 25H is surely not a Hanger Queen. Also i doubt the 39Q will be one, that tater is attractive :D .

Yes put it next to the B25 on the flightline. I'll be flying them both from time to time.

I've got to absolutely agree with you on this. I suppose it's only human nature to always and only fly the top performance planes and not challenge yourself to fly something a bit on the weak side. As much as I realize the top-end Spits, La7's, Typhoons, etc... are sweet planes, I rarely fly them. I like the challenge of getting a couple kills with something like the Yaks (which don't have loads of ammo). That's what this game holds for me; loads of different planes to experiment and have fun with, win or lose. (I mostly lose.:D)

The Only hanger Queens in this game,  are the players.  I fly every plane in the set, and I have a blast doing it.  Last night I flew C205 B5(kate) Bf109e Ki-61 Ju-87 P51b.  Tonite? ...maybe some  Hurri I's   YakT  Boston and who knows what else!

  The average player is a score potato who only fly's La7's Spit 16's P51d's and Fw190d etc etc.  They are so unsecure with their manhood that they are afraid to get beat.  Yet it more enjoyable and a far greater test of your skill to fly an older bird and get results.

  The problem with this game is and will allways be the players.

  If you honestly feel that the game has Hanger Queens take a moment and make sure it's not you "the player" that is too scared to fly it?  The plane has more "Balls" then the players.  The plane is ready for action anytime you ask.  Can you say the same of yourself?

   Many many players do fly older birds....corky loves p38g's....karaya enjoy's Spit I's ...etc etc ......I have more respect for these types of players because they help to give the game "color" and personality.  Frankly I'm bored to tears fighting endless waves of Spits La7 p51d's fw190d's ...yawn

   Remember this,  in War you didn't get to choose what you flew.  Your comander tossed you the keys to a bird and said: "son get it done"

It has always been one of my favourite airplanes and I'll surely fly it a lot.

It's destined to occupy a parking space alongside the F4F, P40, A6M2 Zero, 109E, Yak9T, Spit1 and Hurricane 1.

After a couple weeks of excitement it will become a rare sight in LW arena.

As it should be. It's not a late war plane.

It's an early war plane and it will be flown in the EW arena along with it's EW arena counterparts and it will do well there.

The P-39Q is a 1943 ride, it wont be in the EWA, not even as a perk ride.

Agreed.  We're looking forward to getting it in AvA, it fills a number of holes.

the P39 did 390MPH at 9K. Even with out the 37mm If you take the 4 .50cals that's good for at least 4 to 5 kills. It's not going to be a hanger queen. It's going to be a great plane to fly and i really look forward to it.
