If we got the I-16, why not the P-26!

Peashooter is fine to add, IMO. It served in Pearl Harbor with I believe none shot down? (The few that could get up).

It would be great for the Pearl Harbor Special Events.

This has got to be a troll...

They were being phased out well before the US entered the war. The few that were still around were more often than not exports.

China, which had 11 of the plane, claimed two G3M Nell bombers with the P-26.

The Philippines apparently had a squadron on hand, but most were bombed on the ground. The few that took off downed 1 bomber and maybe a couple of fighters before being burned on the ground by December 24th 1941. Yes, a whopping handful ever flew combat, and that combat lasted about 2 weeks after the US entered the war.


Suuuuure... This is REALLY a worthwhile plane to add to the game. I can see it adds soooo much to the planeset and the history of WW2.  :rolleyes:
