I think someone needs a hug.    Good luck with that. 

But you're the one that needs to read more.   <no smilie needed>

Because it's a fun plane AKAK   Same reason you'd get a kick out of a borderline post-war or rare field mod 38 model.

But you don't see me asking for P-38 variants that never saw operational service or combat.

Although you would fly em, and so HTC sees fit to answer that demand, even implicit.. To keep the game as fun as it could be.

Unless they decide to add a few planes from the Korean War, in which case the P-51 is still SOL.

The P-51H would be but not the P-51D which did see significant usage with both the US and ROK air forces.

Actually, I would be against adding them to the game.

That's surprising.. Then again I don't know exactly what the late war and post-war and rare field mods were for the P38, so it doesn't tell me much.  IIRC the 51H and F7F were both in combat duty when war ended.  They didn't shoot anything down (or shot down something, can't recall what) but IMO pass that criteria. It was simple bad "luck" that they didn't get any trigger time.

Why is it surprising?  If it didn't see operational service or combat, it shouldn't be added to the planeset regardless of my views on the plane.

- Standard, super-charged Merlin Engine with just a little more boost.

- Change in armament:
   * 4 .50 cal
   * 2 20mil canon (NON PERKED)

- change in cockpit
   * removal of view-blocking armored back head rest
   * 360 degree view Bubble canopy.

A little more reading and you would've found that it was never used in combat.

With the addendum that I don't know where on that grey area the P38's late models are..  I'd probably not encourage a hypothetical (190D11, 13, 152C all saw combat) rare 190, if it were added id enjoy the poop out of it.

A little more reading and you'd see that this was already mentioned in a few previous replies.

Thats what I meant- it still wouldn't get a new version, even with a new war.

I find it a little hard to believe you're honestly saying that.

It was actually planned but never developed:

And now you know why I think you're not very intelligent.
