probably one of very few planes that work better in the game than they did in real life
love the AH P39s
The P39,P400 worked better in the real war than most think!The neutering they got by government and all knowing military brass,was nothing short of a blasphemy.They still did a good job as Mud daubers like the P40's.The Russians threw out the horrible Oldsmobile 37 mm,and replaced it with a 20mm,left two fiftys on it and the P39Q was very good on the Eastern front,where the fights were lower.Along came the P63 and another underhanded move kept them out fight,mostly being used as target planes,being shot at by planes with wax bullets.The P63 could stay with the P51 at alt,but were never given the chance because of graft on the government purchaser's part.Someone was getting a kickback from North American,you can bet on that.Seen a P63 at an airshow a few years back.A local guy had bought it from a former Astronaut.He always had bought the P51 "Old Yellow",and he flew it better than he did the P63.I think he wasn't as bold with the P63,but again,he was a self taught pilot.This guy must be rolling in money,because I think he just bought this areas other P51 "Section8".
