By the looks of the door and how it opens for the P39, I think it would be hard to bail, out of that plane, cuz you either have to hold the door open, before sliding down the wing, or that door will just not stay open, and your stuck in a death box. How did P39 pilots bail out?

Chill out on the "Noobs" guys - this is a "WISHLIST" forum and they are putting their .2 cents in like everyone else. Besides not everyone "Haunts" the BBS like we do.  :D

Actually, the P-39D would be the most "Practical" a/c to be added to AH next IMO. It could be used for both the Pacific and Russian-Front based set-ups as the aircraft was used heavily in both theaters.

The Soviet, Japanese & Italian plane sets have the biggest holes. They should get priority on the next aircraft to come out. Again IMHO, we have plenty of American stuff, Spitfires, 109's, 190's etc.

Frankly, I'd also really love to see the P-39, since they meant much more to the Russians than anyone else. No doubt it'd be classified as an US fighter, since it is, but in terms of historical plane sets it has much more meaning with the VVS than other countries.

 I'd really love to see it using Rechkalov's or Pokryshkin's markings. After all, the Russians were the highest scoring Allied aces, who combatted the Luftwaffe at the bloodiest battle grounds of the entire war.

 The P-39 feels much more intense when it's got a red star on it, rather than the stars and bars IMO :)

As for the B-29...

 I don't want to see it in the MA, unless some measures are taken to stop the over bloated jabo wannabe buffing. A B-29 slipping in and spraying its entire payload all over the field at 3k... man, that makes people puke.

Historically, B-29's area bombed Tokyo from 7-10K & B-24's hit Ploesti at tree top high - but I agree with you, it's bad enough now watching Lancs come in and pork the field.

A past thread had the answer in my opinion - BARAGE BALLONS would solve this problem very quickly and wouldn't be too hard to set up.

You don't think the likely 450-600 perk point cost for a formation of B-29s would have that effect?
