I'm guessing that is indeed the case, they'll fly it just as much as they fly the 202.

Well  the Cant Z 1007 and P 108 have a way better defensive arament than our JU 88.
 12.7mm as aposed to 7.9mm.They both have very usefull loads, Cant Z 1007 has a bigger load than the B26, The p 108 has a bigger load than a B 17.

 Cant Z. 1007
  Two 12.7mm and two 7.7mm
   two torpedos
    4,410lb internal & 4 551 lb bombs on wings
     280mph

  P.108
   Eight 12.7mm mg's
    3 torpedos or 7,716lb's of bombs
     267 mph

 I should think these aircraft would be a little more atractive to fly on a buff mishion than say the comparative atractiveness of the C 202 on a ftr mishion.
 They cary a competive( in some cases better)
bomb load than other's we have or would consider to have in AH, and thier defensive arament is not as bad as the JU 88.
 The P 108 had 4 of it's 12.7mm MG's in remote barbets located in 2 turets on the wings and sighted by remote sighting station which covered the rear of the bomber nicely, the rest were located in convential mounts in the waist and else whear.

 lets add some collor to the MA, and even the score for italy some they had some cool equipment.

S!

Too repeat, the Cant is a fine plane, and would do just fine in the MA in low density enviroments, such as attacks on Task Forces.

It would also give the Italians a more complete set.

yes the cant with the EXACT SAME ARMAMENT as the 202 will be very popular for its heavier defenses.

LOL!!!!!!

Ok Cit, instead of a bomber at the same price we'll get the DB603 engined G.56 "Centauro" armed with 3x20mm (650rds) and 2x12,7mm (740rds). 440mph at 23K. We agree it'll be perked. Deal done?  :)

I suspect it would be as popular as the JU 88 maby more so if the criteria for popularity is defensive arament in a buff then the curent exceptable enty leval of protection for a buff would be the JU 88 we have this being said the Cant Z 1007 and P 108 would be elegable by a long shot.

that p40 is still intact in that film.

it may have flat tires and some holes but its still in one piece.

if ht added gfx smoke effects to bullet strikes the current c202 would make similar harmless sdmoke show  :p

What you guys fail to mention is that the P40 in that film may now not be flying as well as it could before those hits.  ;) An effect NOT modelled in AH. So blowing off the skin in game has no real effect. Increased drag... less efficient control surfaces... reduced diving speeds and G tolerances... all that good stuff, not modeled   ;)

I'n not sure, but I think reduced G tolerances are modeled.
