New P-40F!!

[skorpion]

I've always grumbled when a spitfire shoots my p40 down. "Why's my p40 been given no Merlin?" paraphrase Armstrong,Miller.

But seroiusly how about a new cartoon plane to wow are socks off?

Me 410
Ki 43
Yak 3
Migg 3
P47-D22
StuG III Ausf G.
HE-111

added a few planes you missed there... i'd much rather take any of those than the P40.

More planes no tanks!

[Messiah]

Cool another hangar queen

put down the crack pipe, and step away from the computer....as of now we only have about 20 tanks in game, 19 or so bombers and at least 80+ fighters.

tanks and bombers is what we need....

[Debrody]

I agree with Perdweeb.  We need waayy more Allied fighters, and I hope to DMGOD we dont get a much needed me-410 or J5N2 to combat Allied alt monkey 330mph+ superbuffs, or a He111 for historical importance

This is dead on.
AH has more american rides than german, japanese, russian and italian together. One more american one, keep 'em comin.

I agree that there are some significant holes in the planes sets of the other combatants, the top 3 on my personal wishlist is the Ki-43, beaufighter, and He-111.

The P-40's got a facelift and it's been customary to add another variant or two when that happens, the fact that it's coming in a separate update is a bit of a change but I see it as just an extension of what happened in the last release.   The P-40 was a major contributor in all it's variants, the first P-40 kill was scored by the RAF on June 8th, 1940 and the type was still in service in 1945.  It served in Africa, Italy, China, the southwest Pacific, and eastern front.  A most welcome addition in my book.

Hold your horses all.

Adding the P-40F is not at all the same as adding the Ki-43 or Me410.  Adding a variant is much easier for HTC to do due to most of the graphics work already being in place.

So, when you whine about this stuff, at least try to compare apple to apples instead of apples to oranges.

Compared to adding an He111, for the same work, HTC could likely add the Bf109G-6/AS, Fw190A-2, Fw190A-9, LaGG-3, La-5, Mosquito F.Mk II, P-40F and P-40N.  That might be a bit optimistic, but you get the idea.

Bombers take a lot more graphic work.  Multi-crew aircraft like the Beaufighter, Ki-45 or Me410 take more work than single seat aircraft.  Entirely new airframes like the G.55 or Ki-43 take more work than variants of existing AH2 standard models.

although i agree to some extent, i wouldn't go so far as to be so negative about it. there is undeniably more technical data on american and british aircraft than any other country, and the more data there is, the easier it is to program into a computer. if there was as much data for the aircraft some of us really want to see, the waiting time probably wouldn't be so bad.

Maybe in pure numbers alone, But all countries have more varients of specific aircraft than most of the American Lineup does.


Just look how many spits/109s there are compared to how many p51s/p38s/p40s/f6fs/etc's there are.

[FBCrabby]

I wantz the P51-A 

[Bannor]

Another consideration to the folks here that only fly in the MA. Some of the planes that are being added help to fill out the planes needed for historical reasons in FSO.

Speaking of which, if you are interested in flying in the FSO events, and you have a squad or want to join a squad that already flies in FSO, look it up or hook up with one of the squads in the event. It's totaly seperate from the MA so you can join up with any squad who will have ya or bring in your squad which is even better! 

Just doing my part in the advertising department!

The crying in this thread is mind numbing.  Some of you wanks need to grow up a bit and stop threaten to take your ball and go home.

With that being said- I say HURRAY for the P40F!!!     It will be nice to have another P40 variant, it was a major player in the PTO and MTO, so no need to be skimpy with the variant list, IMO.   Anyone want to be the P40C is next?

Lots of people just get bent right out of shape when planes that aren't Late War Uber Toys are added.

I don't get it really.

While not late war, I'm stoked we'll be getting a P-40 better suited to higher altitudes that are more common in the late war...  or was I the only one that got that memo?...
