never too early for that :) :aok

Well it was a nice plane, gotta love the 1000hp seat heater!
Oh yeah, and P63 did see combat in Operation august Storm.
Also the P63 may have secrelty replaced the P39s used by units on the Eastern Front.

Wonder if HTC staff will say anything on this, really want to hear their thoughts, thats the input I want!
-
If enough people post and make comments i dont see how they could no see it. of course I still try to believe that companies listen to users.
-
The P39 will probably be next, considering it lost to the B25 by 1% in the vote. I cant wait, thats one sweet aircraft. The only thing I want as much is another Yak (EW or Yak3)... oh.. and an Me410 and He111...
-
Brewster, to shut the Finns up. :D Naw, would like to see it in a Midway scenario just for laughs tho.
-
The P-39 would be nice to have in here, but how would we get the powers to be to add it ?

The P-63 did see combat over poland and east germany to at least some degree. The P-39 was actually a very capable bird at lower and mid altitudes. It will be a pretty dominant plane in the MWA...

P63 was not allowed by the Russians to fly in combat over on the Eastern front, if it did it was in secrecy.

No, it was a condition of the lend lease agreement not to use it on that front. But the Russians would never ever violate an agreement, now would they?
Ohh and just for the record. Shortly before the end of the war a P-63 did shoot down a Japanese's fighter.

The Soviets violate an agreement? NEVER!
There are many unconfirmed reports from both the Soviet and German side that P-63s did indeed see service against the Luftwaffe. Most notably, one of Pokryshkin's pilots reports in his memoirs published in the 1990s that the entire 4th GvIAP was secretly converted to P-63s in 1944, while officially still flying P-39s. One account states they were in action at Koenigsberg, in Poland and in the final assault on Berlin. There are German reports of P-63s shot down by both fighters and flak.

p63's saw quite a bit of action
i don't mean like the primary planes did (p51 f6f etc...) but a decent amount of action none the less...i kinda like the p39 more though :]
