P-36 anyone

[Eric19]

It was the plane that the p40 replaced and I think it would a good change of pace to have something older in the game but could still dish out some serious punshiment in the MA heres the specs for the P36A

Length: 28 ft 6 in (8.7 m)
 Wingspan: 37 ft 4 in (11.4 m)
 Height: 8 ft 5 in (2.6 m)

 Empty weight: 4,567 lb[19] (2,076 kg)
 Loaded weight: 5,650 lb (2,560 kg)
 Max. takeoff weight: 6,010 lb[19] (2,732 kg)
 Powerplant: 1 × Pratt & Whitney R-1830-17 Twin Wasp air-cooled radial piston engine, 1,050 hp (783 kW)
 
Performance
 Maximum speed: 313 mph (272 knots, 500 km/h) at 8,500 ft, 2,960 m
 Cruise speed: 270 mph (235 knots, 432 km/h)

Armament
1 30cal browning M1919
1 50cal browning M2
later production variants had 2 50s firing through the prop and 2-4 browning 30cals mounted in the wings

armament: 1 30 cal and 1 50 cal?...

uhm I think WWI planes would laugh at it

I'm afriad you forgot the the sentence underneath that one smart one

Sorry once I read 1 50 cal and 1 30 cal I gave up, if it at least has the P40C armament of 2 50's and 4 30's then sure 

[Eric19]

yeah I like chalenges but 1 30 and 50cal to work with might be a bit of a strech lol

[Krusty]

Why not? Ki-43 did plenty damage with 1 7mm and 1 12.7mm gun, almost throughout the entire war that was the loadout it had.

The P-36 wasn't used much, but one of the export versions of the hawk would be nice -- French and Dutch used them off the top of my head. They were around on the continent and also in the CBI areas of the world.

So, close enough to a P-36 to basically be the same, but small variations in horsepower and/or gun calibers, just under a different name (like, "Hawk 75" and such)

Because in real life, one bullet was all it took to hit a fuel line or some important gizmo in the plane and down it goes. In here, you have to keep hitting whatever it is until it reaches 0 HP then it falls off. 1x 30 Cal and 1x .50 is not going to do anything except against AFK planes. And the fact that even a P40 can run away from it is...well..derp...100% useless plane.

[Ack-Ack]

Maybe if you would crack open a book and read about the plane you'd realize how daft you sounded in your post.

In French service, the H75 was credited with 330 kills and 80 probables with the loss of only 29 H75s in aerial combat.  It also saw success with the Finns, credited with 190 1/3 kills with the loss of only 15 H75s

ack-ack

That darn search function works wonders.  Considering the number of air forces that used the P36/Hawk75 I think it would be a nice addition

[Eric19]

I honestly think it would be good for base defense since it did only 313mph at 8500ft its quiet a bit lighter than the P40C that we have I think the 40C weights in at like 7600lbs where compared to the p36 it only weights 5500lbs

My type of plane 


This and the Ki-43 and we could have some special events fun in the CBI

ya 1 50 cal is enough to take a wing off any ww1 plane and anyways like they have said itsa chalange try using a d3a to kill planes or a 202 with just the 50 cals makes fer a heck of a fight

99% of people just run away.

Agreed. Amazed me to learn the RAF still had Hawks alongside Hurris as front line fighters into 1943 in the CBI.

French Hawk75s didn.t have .50s and USAAF P-36s saw only brief combat during attack on Pearl Harbour. Finns did retrofit .50 cal war booty Berezins, Colts and domestic Lkk42s to Hawk75s though.
