Seems like the last P-40N thread was locked no more then three days ago because people started hijacking it with He-111 posts. You might want to rethink your post before this ends up like the last one.




Back on topic. The P-40s are old 3d models. When they are remade there's a good chance the P-40N will be added.

Ok, howabout I put it this way: There are many aircraft that are more important to add to AH than the P-40N.  It would be on my list somewhere though.

Not really. P-40N was MASSED produced. Served in all theaters of the war, and had a big impact on the war too. It also served from start to finish. Whether it be front line, scouting, or something else, it did.

I still say no.

Ok, which of these aircraft are less important than the P-40N?

Yak-9D
Lagg-3
Pe-2
He 111
G4M
Do 217
Tu-2
Ki-43

None.

I'd even throw in the Ju-52 before the P-40N so that the axis has its own transport.

The Yakovlev 9D and the LaGG3. ;)
More P40 variants would be nice when the current model gets updated.

P-40 is already in the game, all you gotta do is update graphics and flight model a bit. Not too hard to do because you already got one to base it off of.

Hmmm, thinking out loud, wasn't the P-40 N Sky Captain's plane in the movie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? And also, I would like a bit of a sexier P-40 so...YES!

I have to ask, how are you deeming importance?

And do we need another slow transport aircraft irregardless of country?  I guess that also depends on how we deem importance.  I guess ultimately it's HTC that decides anyway.

Just asking, not flaming.
