I have. What Wikipedia says is correct in that "ate models did have two .50s on the fuselage. But like I said they didn't see any combat with the USAAF as USAAF got rid of them by sending them to Peru under lend-lease.

[Eric19]

they saw combat at pearle harbor like you said so in your pervious post this one to be exact

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.

and who said we had to have the french version anyway?
we could just have the XP-36D which is the one in question here with the 50s in the cowl

P-36 saw action in the Pearl Harbour only under USAAF and those aircraft left the factory with only one .50 cal in the fuselage. P-36Gs which had two .50s served as trainers for the Norwegeans in Canada and 30 left with the USAAF were imported to Peru under lend lease. So no P-36s/Hawks saw action with two .50cals

The reason to have a French import version instead of the USAAF P-36 is history. They fought hard for the French Air Force and, as mentioned, P-36 only saw action in Pearl Harbour with the USAAF.

The French Hawk is the one to have because of its rich and hard fought service history and the fact that there's no originally French units in the game yet.

There's no point adding prototypes into the game.

Actually it was a rather competitive airframe in Battle Ground Europe. It was nimble, had good all around characteristics, and with 6 .30 cals it had enough to kill what it came up against. It was well liked by the countries Curtiss sold them to. The Finns were very fond of them.

Me 163 was a prototype and only saw few flights

not true, it went into production.

it went into production but it was a prototype and it was i failure even though it went into combat

Negative.  The Me163 was out of prototype and in series production and deployed in squadron strength.  It is true that it wasn't very successful, but it did get a number of kills.

Not being successful doesn't magically make it still a prototype.

There are no prototypes in AH.

Oh dear do you not even bother looking at wikipedia before typing on the forums? I just deleted one of your stupid comments off my signature a month ago - you remember about the "262 being a post war aircraft and wasn't in ww2".....

Prototypes for the Me163 flew early as 1941 with the Me-163A, however the Me-163B got a new engine (a rocket) which is what version we have in game. 30 Pre-production B models were designed with a pair of 20mms while 400 B-1 production models had 30mm Mk108s.

Me163 was in squadron strength and was in combat.

Before you type this tripe, do a little bit of research so you won't look so dense.

+1 for P-36   (right after we get the Ki-43 and HE-111 of course)

I always have a hard time interpreting air speed.  How fast do you think it would go on the deck?

The French have there own planes to add 1st!
D520- Ms406 and really should have there own plane in the game.

They were a large country and produced many of their own planes.

The Ms406 was also used by the Finns and would be a great addition to the Game.


I would like to see the Mohawk in the game however and the French had ordered 600 of them <all models combined>
The Finns bought some their's from the Germans after they took Norway. More came from the fall of France.

It could get many country's in the game Portugal, Holland, Norway, Thailand <had 23mm in the wings>,

Maybe we can get Portugal some skin in the game


Or Norway here's 1 the Finns didn't get these were delivered to Little Norway and used till there transition to P-38's
