New P-40F!!

Maybe since we got a new allied bird they will unperk the Chog now.

Merlin P40s equipped all the USAAF MTO P40 Groups from the time they launched off the carriers into North Africa until they transitioned to Jugs in late 43-44.  Tuskegee Airmen flew P40Fs.  33rd, 57th, 79th 325th FGs in the MTO all had Merlin P40s.  There were some operated by the USAAF on in the PTO and there were some operated by RAF squadrons in the MTO.

A great addition to the line up and allows for a lot more variety in skins and in scenario/FSO/Snapshot etc use.

Awesome, we desperately needed one. 2 P-40's just isnt enough. But what we really need is another P-47.

As opposed to the 6 109's we have? Or maybe the 5 190's?

as opposed to a non k series 109 that has high alt performance ala db605as engine, or a 190a8 that isn't 1000lbs over weight.

but i like the p-40s so     it will be fun to try the f model out.

[grizz441]

More allied Mk108 tater fodder.  Excellent.

[horble]

Even though I'm a hardcore Luftwobble I do like the P40's..

So there is a good chance that we will be having some 99th and 100th skins?

99th would be the best bet.  They were the ones into combat first.

Nice, P-40F will help flesh out the P-40 line and it doesn't take HTC as much time to add a variant as it does to add an entirely new airframe.



P-47 whiners, cut it.  You already have the densest representation of any fighter in the game timewise.

In the same time period covered by the P-47D-11, P-47D-25, P-47D-40, P-47M and P-47N, the Fw190s are represented by the Fw190A-8, Fw190F-8, Fw190D-9 and Ta152H-1, the Bf109s are represented by the Bf109G-6, Bf109G-14 and Bf109K-4 and the Spitfires are represented by the Spitfire Mk VIII, Spitfire Mk XIV and Spitfire Mk XVI.  That is five P-47s compared to four Fw190s and three each for the Bf109 and Spitfire lines.

You cannot compare the P-47 with airframes that fought the entire war and then whine that they have more variants in the game, particularly coming from fans of an aircraft that is represented as well as the P-47 is.

It don't matter how many toys you put in a sandbox.  At the end of the day, it's still a sand box.
I say, concentrate on the environment, not planes or tanks for now.
