How about a late war P-40?

This would be a neat addition someday, after some gaps are filled, and the current P-40 model gets a make over.

This could be about the dumbest response yet.  Think of Spitfire models and their differences  The P40N is a different P40, just as the Merlin P40s would be.  Anyone paying any attention to the history would note the differences, who used them, where they were used etc. 

I don't mind the argument that other birds should be added first, but that it didn't do anything historical is just silly.  I suggest checking out the 5th Air Force use, the RAAF, the USAAF in China Burma India etc.

You'd be better off arguing that the E is pointless and the N is more important as there were 5215 P40N delivered vs 2320 P40E.  The N saw a lot more combat and were around a lot longer.

If you really want to do it right, the AH P40 lineup would include the B/C Tomahawks, the Kittyhawks E and N, and the Merlin engined Warhawks F and L.

The skinners would be busy for years doing all the different skins available for that line up.

Consider it the same as having the Spit I, V, VIII, IX, XIV and XVI.

Alright, well would it be able to do anything that the E model can not?
I'm not familiar with the specific specs.

Look at it similar to the Spit VIII and Spit IX. Slight performance differences, yet cover much different turf historically.  Historically the N model covered the 43-45 time frame.  The E's were gone for the most part as they were 41-42.  In terms of scenarios, skinning, snapshots etc it would be much more historically accurate. 

It was a better performer too.  Don Lopez, who was an Ace in the CBI and later director of the NASM, said in his book "Into the Teeth of the Tiger" that the N actually performed better then the 51 at certain altitudes they fought at, and he flew both in combat.

The RAAF had over 500 N models.  Again the skinners would be busy.  The white tailed 5th AF P40s in general are all Ns.  You want a natural metal P40?  Gonna be an N model again.

Well I guess when they remodel the P-40, N would be a good addition. However it should not be on the top of the priority list.

No worries on top priority.  That was never my concern.  Just understanding the differences and historical use of the N was what needed to be cleared up.

Lots of holes to be filled first, and of course I want my Beaufighter!

This is why we need a P-40N.

I know one guy who wants more P40s........

[GreenEagle43]

if we get the P-40N why not the P-51A. if the P-40N had major up grades so did the P-51A.it had the Allison engine and four 20mm. so what I'm saying is. this is a wish list. every one has the right to wish for something. heck we are getting the B-29. i don't remember in the history books the there was a massive B-29 raid on Germany.

[B4Buster]

Greeneagle, perhaps you should do more research on the 51A. It was not an upgrade. It was an earlier variant, and performed worse than the B and D in game. Its true potential was revealed only when equipped with the Merlin.

This is so full of holes it has to be a troll.
