i would love to see the p38 in ah cuz it is 1 of my fav planes my grandpa(who flew his own plane in wwII said that the p-38 was used through most of the war i like the idea of rare planes but i want my p38 also it was a cool plane i also wouldnt mind seeing a b24 liborator in there either
-
plz lern english beter becuz i cant understood a wurd u sey!
tankz alot

Nath: wan't to buy one of my CRC-2000 talk-error-check module?
At least I understood what he said :P
About P-38, I wouldn't mind see all of allied uber planes here.. uh uh..
(<mumble> wheres my He162 or even Me262 uber LW plane)
-
Uh? There are non rare a/c here. What we get in AH are "new" a/c or variants like the C.205, the G-10, the N1K2, the F4U-1D or the incoming Marauder.
I'm sure we'll see the P38 (J-type, I guess) some more bombers and maybe the P47D.
Then I'm sure we'll step back to 1942-43 fighters. And then to the 1940-41 plane set.

Nath: Don't trust Fishu and his CRC-2000 device; look at this word he wrote - wan't - obviously it doesn't work correctly, or Fishu doesn't trust it enough to use it himself. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
So hows about after the B-26 Maruader, maybe a Tempest V or Ju188? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
Yeah, I forgot to mention the Typhoon or Tempest ... uhmmmm .... great!
-
Now now....
Lets not forget the P-63C KingCobra in VVS markings!!
1.)Never done in a sim before
2.)Qualify's as both a "Soviet" bird and a "US bird"
3.) Also makes also those BFG type guys really happy (like me).
And for arena fighting it should knock off the P-51 as the king O' da Heap (at least at arena altitudes).
Of course a Typhoon/Tempest might very well do the same.

Really the KingCobra can beat a Pony? Can you provide some performance figures Verm?
And who keep Leonid quiet if another kite with VVS marking enters the arena? I'm really worried about that ... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
As far as level speed is concerned, I believe I have read numbers that back up Verm. I'll see what I can find...
-
P38, P47, P63, Typhoon, Marauder, Tempest... wait a minute, wheres all non-brit/US plane?
If we get all these, wheres my Dora or Ta152 with what to fight against them? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Oh, btw. you guys ever knew about P38s engine freezing problem at higher altitudes, and given restrictions for maximum altitude?
What I remember J still suffered of those but L was now better made for cold...
Hehe, would love to see P38 engines freeze at 30k (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Well...
These are from American Hundred Thousand (AHT), easily the best American Fighter book ever published. I won't give numbers since most would typically require a graph.
P63C vs P51D Comparison
Max Speed:
P-63C has better speed up until 20K, where the P51D becomes superior
Times to Climb:
P-63C is vastly superior throught the entire altitude spectrum.
Range & Radius:
P-51D is has much better range, with and without droptanks (both are dropta
nk capable)
Takeoff Distance:
P-51D has a shorter takeoff distance.
Roll Rates:
P-63 has better roll rates
Turn Rates:
P-63 has superior turn rates
Level Flight Acceleration (250mph):
P-51 accelerates better
Vertical dive Acceleration:
No data given for P-63, P-51 ranked 2nd overall
Dive Speed Limit:
Tie, both are 500mph dive speed limited
Visibility:
P-51D has much better visibility
Firepower (opinon):
P-63 has x4 .50cals + x1 37mm, P-51 has x6 .50cals, opinon is that edge goes to KingCobra
There are several others, but what it comes down to is personal preference. How do you like to fight and at what altitude? Personally I think the P-63 would fit my style much better, but they are both very capable aircraft.

I too would like a P63 over a P39.

After the poor showing of the Bell P-39, and the requirement for long range escort the USAAC was not very interested in the P-63. Nearly all of them were shipped to the Soviets under lend-lease.
(The following is true and not a joke or troll)
A few were kept and used in Frangible bullet training for bomber gunners. These P-63s were given extra armor and painted bright orange. The had lights installed on them that lit up they were hit by gunner trainees shooting ceramic bullets. The project was named Operation Pinball.

JIMMIET:
Since most of us never meet face to face, all we have to judge each other by is how we write. Your style of writing (no punctuation, poor spelling, and poor grammer), gives other posters the impression that you are very young. First impressions are very important, and on the Internet it is more important than anywhere else.
If you want to get your ideas across and be taken seriously, try to write in a way that shows you are educated. Otherwise most readers will not take you seriously, and others will insult your intelligence and ideas.

hey all.
havent posted in a bit....
I'd take a superfort too jimmy,
give me a fatman while your're at it. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
You would have to make it loose presurization in the waste above 35k(?) or so,...we would have to account for the waist blisters breaking. :P
I'll take a P-38J for a spin, but lets see some more brit\german\soviet\navy planes first.....some pre-war\early war's would be fun too. .....p26, bristol bulldog, commonwealth boomerang, curtis hawk, f2a2, swordfish, tbd-3 devistator, he111, ju52 (i like her!...shes a wonderful trainer), kondor, maybe some flying boats....pby or that large 4 engined german boat that i always forget the name of.....but most of all...I NEED A B-17C (and all the problems associated with her)
