[M0nkey_Man]

[JOACH1M]

No, it's c202, 205, and yaks turn, and throw us a bone with a yak3

[EskimoJoe]

Really hoping for the B, C, and N as well!

I wouldn't hold my breath. Just the fact they're updating the B/E is good enough for me. I'd rather get no new P-40 models now if it means they're working on a G.55 or a Me410

Nope, if they make the earlier and late versions of the p40 it will become a much more used aircraft, and can even fill gaps for other country's plane set.


I still want my hawk 75, and some of the versions it had.

I agree it can fill gaps in other country's planesets, but I don't think there is anything that will significantly increase the P-40's use in the MA.  It is simply too badly outclassed by things like the P-51D, Spitfire Mk XVI and La-7.

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

Of course, but it doesn't stop us from flying it, i would like to see the hawk 75 added someday too,as well as other french fighters, sure they all fairly suck vs. 44-45 ubber rides, but if it has wings, at least 1 gun and a engine, ill fly it. 

Besides we need more planes badly for the early and mid war arena's.

Most of the planes in the MA may be of the P-51D/SpitXVI/La7/N1K variety, which makes killing in a P-40 difficult, but so satisfying.  The P-40E is actually the 3rd ranked fighter in my all time kills, behind only the Ki-84 and F6F-5 (shameless self-promotion). Haven't used it much lately but definitely will again after the update.

Oh, I absolutely agree with you, I was just cautioning against unrealistic optimism based on BaDkaRmA158Th's "if they make the earlier and late versions of the p40 it will become a much more used aircraft" comment.  By no means am I arguing against new versions or derivatives of the P-40.

still thing they should put the merlin engine in the p40s.

still thing they should put the merlin engine in the p40s. 

...because it has virtually the same performance as the Allison engined version?

well why do they make the big stink of p51 with the merlin engine in it if that was so?
