Well i will do what I've been doing with all American planes I start flying. Picking, then dogfights with less maneuverable planes, then the average maneuverable planes, then the well to extremely well maneuverable planes.

1. Picking

2. Dogfights with the P-51, P-47, F4U (hopefully in hands of a clumsy pilot  :uhoh :pray)

3. F4U (definately), Spit-9s, FM2s.....along those lines

4. Hurris, A6ms, All the other spits.....

If it does well in steps 1 through 3 but not 4 then you know what i will be after. If it works suprisingly well with step 4, then that will be my new plane for everything. Shoot, if nothing works, i will fly it for fun. <See you guys on the ground>
you know the fm2 turns like a zero

My thoughts as the p39's are not boosted so high alt is out of the question.  For the first week you'll see them all the time then after a month or so they will as common as the B5N in late war.  IMHO the D will be a better low alt turn fighter.

I think it will be very popular for a long time. If high-alt performance was the be-all-and-end-all no-one would fly the La7.... Yet we see that very often.

I doubt it will reach the popularity that the La7 enjoys, particularly now that it has been updated too, but it will definitely be a popular aircraft in the MA given that it is absolutely perfect for MA style fighting.

I like it almost as much as a jug for buff hunting, it's great  :rock
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

Man I love the P-39. First sortie, i got 1 kill but had to land because I needed to re-download the High Res pack. After I relogged, I landed 3 more on my 2nd sortie. Most I've landed so far in it was 5. I'm still suprised.  :O
