P-51 with 4 CANNONS!!!

In Warbirds the A36 was the first plane on the list; like the A20 is here. In the RPS when the 190 would first come out, the A36 and the 47-C were the only Allied planes that could compete with the Wulf.

Mustang Ia

March of 1941, the US Congress passed the Lend/Lease Act which permitted the "lending" of US built aircraft to nations that were "vital to the security of the United States". This allowed the US to place an order for 150 more Mustangs to be sent to Brittan. This allocation was NA-91, RAF designation of Mustang Ia. The Mustang Ia was equipped with four Hispano 20mm cannons installed in the wings. The nose guns were deleted. Out of the 150 ordered, only 111 were serialized for the RAF and probably less than that actually received.

133 P-47 M's  130 delivered to the 56th.

how many aircraft have to see service or be delivered to a Squadron to be considered as significant enough to have modeled in game?

Just curious.

After the 600 or so mg armed RAF Allison Mustangs show up, and the 500 A-36s show up and the 310 USAAF P51As show up.  Hows that?

You do know that these a/c were grounded for several months.

[Petey]

yes they had some growing pains.  and  i think 12 pilots were lost due to mechanical issues.

[DaveBB]

I thought the problem with P-47M's stemmed from saltwater corrosion from poor storage aboard ships.

The only way they grant this wish is if it comes with four exclamation points.  Three is just not gonna cut it.

I didn't read into the details of what caused the mechanical issues I was only searching for the numbers of the AC deployed.  however it did have something to do with the engines and that being such highly tuned performance engines they had problems.  I didnt dig any further to find as to why.
