Before you type "P-36", look at it carefully. It is not the standard model.

If you're intersted on the Hawk, check this:

World War II Online & the Curtiss Hawk 75 modeling, just discovered what exactly was wrong with its modeling.

It did offer slightly better performance than any other version of the model 75/P-36.

330 mph @ 15,000 ft.
4.8 minutes to 15,000 ft., averaging better than 3k/min.

Widewing,

Pretty respectable, why didn't it see combat?
