New P-40F!!

[Karnak]

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.

Erm, those aircraft were in combat longer than the American ones too, hence the larger number of variants.  As I noted earlier, the time period covered by our five P-47s is covered by four Fw190s (counting the Ta152), three Bf109s and three Spitfires.  American aircraft are not terribly disadvantaged in the variants department.

No not many posts but...

Cracks me up when I check out this board. Complaining..etc. Not that I have no complaints (for instance the bomb****s) but I work for a large hosting company as a system engineer and for what AH is charging and getting per month combined, my company could not host this app. I have no idea how many people are employed to keep things running, but by my calcs, they couldn't pay 2 of the engineers at my company to keep this thing going and add all the stuff that everyone wants. I've been playing for about 1.5 years and have a great time, bad time, depending on how much I drink.

Heck up until last month I didn't even know there was elevation keys for tanks. I was just guessing. Wow since I found that out I'm much improved in in tanks. That is when I really started hating on the bomb****s. But I also really started getting into the GV side in this game. Guess maybe I should read ALL the manual.

Bottom line I really like this game....keep it up AH. and oh, please get the game back up tonight, I need a fix.

has ranger submitted a new main arena map? i was aware of some ava/special events maps but... 

Not that I know of.  The ones that he's submitted are just fine.  Don't have the time to go digging through posts tonight, but
maybe tomorrow I will.

Cant Wait to give her a shot, wonder how she performs at altitude.

Does she have a dual stage supercharger?     Yes it does.

Engine should be similar to the engine in the Spitfire Mk V.

It does not have a high blown Merlin like the Spitfire Mk IX, P-51B or Mosquito Mk XVI.

Performance only improved in service ceiling & +10mph + or - for alt? Not a lot of hoopla right? How do you guys see it?

Its a P-40.  Anybody expecting a P-40 to be competitive with Bf109K-4s, P-51Ds, Spitfire Mk XVIs, La-7s and Ki-84's is doomed to perpetual disappointment.

I see it in the markings of all those USAAF Groups that took it into combat in North Africa, Sicily and up into Italy long before the Jugs and 51s got there.

Is it 10 mph faster? Big deal... But also 400lbs heavyer, while the E model is quite a brick too.
It fills no gap at all. Really isnt better than the E. Anyway, im still happy with this (food).
Im with Crazy Ivan.

I'd like to see the 190s and 109s get a exterior shape and interior update, especially the proper 3D canopys 

It makes sense if you have recently updated the p40 to follow through with another varient when you are at it.

And if so, they should fly it in one of the many other arenas.

Bf109s and Fw190s are already at AH2 standard.  The units that are not AH2 standard need to be updated before revisiting any AH2 models happens, and then the Ki-84 and B-24 should be at the top of the list.

And if so, they should fly it in one of the many other arenas.

Nothing wrong with flying a non-competitive fighter in the LWA just so long as you accept that is what you are doing.  The P-40F fleshes out the options for scenarios and such.
