P-40N-1-CU/ and -5-CU

[Nemisis]

I was flying the P-40E in the online arenas (have yet to make a kill with on though), and I just couldn't catch anything, or out turn anything either, so I would like a P-40N, which would put it in a more competive position in the LW arena. More specificly, I would like the P-40N-1-CU, and the P-40N-5-CU. The '1-CU for speed increased speed, and the 5-CU for the increased external stores.

I think this would really get the P-40 series some real use, and make it more competitive.

didn't get much from wiki, but if anyone can find anything useful

Keep the nose pointed down hill, and take advantage of your high speed flaps. Insane turn rate, and be prepare to full stick left when your left flap gets shot out. Still, more P-40s would be nice.

P-40E is better than you think.  Don't try to catch anybody, let them catch you.  With flap work, the slow speed handling can baffle easy mode planes expecting a sure kill.  You'll take some hits (especially when they call for help) but they'll overshoot your "slow" plane and get drawn and quartered by 50 cals at close range.

The problem isn't that the plane isn't competitive in the LW arena, it's whether or not the pilot is able to make his plane competitive in the LW arena and in this case, the pilot was clearly not able to.

Exactly. If you really want to learn good P-40 handling, talk to GhostCDB. He can get that P-40B moving.

I think the problem is learning to use what you have, NOT making things easier to cut the corners. All it takes is practice

I know, I've gotten a lot of assists with the P-40 (just can't seem to get the kill before some newb in a 190 comes tearin in and steals it or the hurricane IIC gets it with the cannons), I just want a P-40 with some real speed, and one with some ord.

Plus, I want some new P-40's, is that a crime?

[LLogann]

Yes!!!  Yes!!!  More P40's!

I know one famous pilot who would agree with the idea....

oh damn!!!!, I just read fugitives post in that "little request" thread, and saw where that de ja vue thing came from. $50 says he just pasted that from somewhere else, saw a good aplication here and pasted it again.

It fit, so I posted it. Why always ask for something with more power....bigger guns? Learn to use what you have. There are some guys that are very good in the P40 and fly them a lot.

Are you one of those guys that flies the pony and only does so-so in it so he wishes they would add the "cannon" version of the pony? All I'm saying is learn to fly and you'll be ok. We have enough complaints about uber planes now. I know, I know there isn't any P40s that could be considered uber, but you know what I mean. Instead of taking the time to learn how to kill in the P40 we have, you want to cut corners and get a better P40.

Pffft all you need is an FM-2.

The P-40N has 2 less guns, I'm not asking for more firepower,  I'm asking for a P-40 that gives an easier time staying on your opponents 6, and gives him a harder time extending away from you.


And by your logic, all we need are the first avalable models for all planes we have, and the rest are "cutting corners". Unless you fly the 109E, spit I, and F4F, you can't really complain about cutting corners.
