apparently, P-40s that can turn with Zeros.

With Dedalos in it, yeah, but that doesn't mean P-40s are overmodeled. It's just the way he is.

And yeah, There's something with P-40 flaps damage model which isn't right.

I am sure they will.  Hopefully a new model or two of related aircraft as well, P-40N or P-36A for example.

Image from another forum.

Maybe if we ask nice we can have a Merlin powered F model like this one that should be flying this weekend at Duxford.  And maybe they'll redo the P40C like the one in the background that will be flying at Duxford, along with the Hawk 75...that will be flying this weekend at Duxford.

Oh and maybe just for fun and additional skins, HTC will do the P51K like the one in the background, with the correct Aeroproducts propeller and Dallas style canopy, that will be flying at Duxford this weekend....

You get the idea :)

(OT) It's amazing that they misindentified the plane and thought it was another plane alltogether for all these years. I've seen that particular Mustang fly in Swedish Air Force and 78th FG markings.

Sounds like it's still being debated.  They thought it was a 78th bird "Twilight Tear" for a long time.  Apparently a lot of paperwork, identities got mixed up when some of the Swedish birds went to Israel.  I love that they actually have a correct prop for a  51K on it.

They can call it whatever they want as long as they park it at my house :)

dedalos said that it already does have the ability to turn with A6Ms when using flaps.  They just want the flaps to not be as easily damaged so that they can do so more reliably. Nobody is asking for the ability to be increased, but it is BS that it is even there in the first place.

The Japanese face Buffaloes that are far more nimble than the ones they faced, F4Fs made of titanium and, apparently, P-40s that can turn with Zeros.

Wrong, I said I can play with Zeros.  That means, I take advantage of 10 years experience and use it against people that just pull on the stick and think they will out turn you.  That does not mean I win all the time (but I can have fun all the time), and when I do is due to a mistake the Zero was forced to make or by deceiving the bad guy.  But, with one flap stuck nothing is possible.  I am not asking for any improvements on the plane other than fix the one ping flap damage that occurs 90% of the time.

New models aren't outside the realm of the possible. In a previous thread, Pyro said:

I agree that it needs a rework of the flight model but I don't see that being done until the shape is updated.  Maybe we could add an F or a K at that time but I'm not sure that will really get us much.

Well, now we're getting the updated shape, so maybe (?) we'll get an additional model or two thrown in there.

I'd hit a late-model Jabo P-40N, and for skins would love a long-tail P-40F/L
