P-63 was a hot bird ~ 50 MPH faster than the P-39 & it had high alt performance too, dont know much about P-63's turning ability, but@least it was not slow...P-39 was a not bad low alt dogfighter. both could rough you up if you let them stall...but watch out - people get angry@you if you ask for US planes

I personally would love to have both of those in AH.  Preferably some sort of early model P-39 in U.S. colors, a P-400 in Australian or NZ colors, and a P-63 in Soviet colors.

With the new style cockpits htc has put out in the last releases a p39 / p400 / p63 would be pretty.

The p39 would get multiple uses. Describing it just as "another" US  plane is a bit misleading.

It would fit well in the ah planeset.

The Soviets used the P39 aswell. It would be an "international" addition.

Bit of an understatement.

The soviet union operated a large percentage of the p39s produced, and most(nearly all IIRC) of the p63's.

P-39 and an earlier P-38 are both needed fighters for the US planeset.  And Russian planeset in the case of the P-39.

I would rather see either MiG-3, LaGG-3 or I-16 first.

I always thought the P-63 would be a great little arena plane in AH. :)

We need more Russian Aircraft and more American and German early war aircraft.

What would be cool is to get the "pinball" P-63's that light-up when you hit them.  HT could replace the drones with them!!
