HTC,could you bump the eny of both p40's?.They are very nice handling planes but their poor climb rate and preformance over 13k discourages their use in the MA.

I second that, both P40s are overpriced imho. Compare their eny values and performance with a P51B, the pony outeverythings the Hawks with ease - at 75% throttle setting. Maybe a P-40 as perk farmer can increase it's usage. I'd fly it

Yeah I think we can expect an adjustment - the HTC folks had to take a guess on usage/impact when it first came out. I am thinking they have plenty of data now.

P-40 isnt a to new plane, so it isnt made for being at 14k and heigher

The 51b is the queen of the assist. The extra 2 50's on the E make it a much more potent killer. And the E can out turn the B all fricken day.

Having said that, I do believe the 51b is a more survivable plane, but it does not "outeverything" the p40's.

The P-40's do need the eny adjusted, but then so do most planes.

I think it's realistic. In real life P-40 wasn't a very good modern fighter and it was very inferior to the German planes.

Once I got beat by a very good P-40 pilot and I was so angry that I went on a rage.

ENY is a measure of how often a plane is used, and determines how many perks you earn for killing someone. The high eny planes are the less often used planes, which are usually inferior planes.

The P-40's are almost never used, with the P-40B being the least used fighter in the game. The P-40E's usage comes out at about the same as the c202(60 eny). Thier eny should be 50 and 60 respectivly, at the very lowest.
