Woooohooooooo!!!

Older model, weaker engine. The cowl MGs are in place because of the smaller engine .. I think.

What country are those markings from?

P-40 B was an early model (tomahawk). Armament consisted of 2 .50 cals in the cowling and 4 .30 cals in the wings.

P-40E (warhawk) had standard 6x.50 cals in the wings. I know the E model was a little faster but I dont know the numbers.

I think those markings are Nationalist Chinese.

Wasn't the B slightly more maneuverable?

P-40B looks nicer and I'll fly it allot more

lol, but has more accurate armament (the 2x50cals in nose instead of wings, making them more accurate at all ranges) and the .30s, they are less powerfull of course but we prolly get more ammo

1 Question though.... Are those .30's in the wings? look like 50 cals, but I think the B had 30 cals?

P-40B was armed with six 50 cals, two in the nose and four in the wings.

Karnak,

Is this page incorrect then? I gather from it that it was not until the E model that 6x50's were equiped and those were all in the wing.

Thats not true, . As I said earleir, two 50's in the cowl, four .30's in the wings.

So whats the armament on our P-40B?... Looks like 50 cals in the wings, maybe it has an option of 6x50's or 2x50's and 4x30's?...
