Hello everyone,
I'm so glad to hear that the P-40E & K's wing angles will be corrected in 4.12!! I've always been a fan of the plane and have flown it through the years in Il-2 (1946). It is especially unique because it was in so many theaters and fought for so many air forces throughout the war. But from the start of its introduction to the flight sim I've noticed that the angle of the main wing had been exaggerated and mis-represented in the 3D model. (I've attached a few diagrams I made that display this error... I overlaid actual blue-prints on top of screen shots of both the old original model and the one that will be introduced in 4.12) I appreciate what the original modeler accomplished but wished the error would have been addressed back then. Oh well... can't wait for the new release!! :grin:
Cheers!

This will be the first thing I will fly in 4.12

No you won't. :(
P-40 will not make it into 4.12. Maybe in the fix patch. I'm not sure about it's current status.

Me too, fingers crossed for the fix patch. Still plenty to look forward to though!

Don't worry guys, I did big efforts for the Warhawk but was a bit late in last steps. And it's in good hands now.
I hope for the earlier as well.

Oh...That's a shame but thanks for the update El, I'm sure it will be worth the wait

Oh, I know it will be!

Ummm...

What about the Hawk 75s?

I needs my Curtiss fix.

I think you will enjoy the Hawk 75 when it comes. It'll be a great thing and the video already shows it flying.

The Hawk 75 will be an awesome addition to IL-2 1946

The Hawk 75 is a different development from the P-40, and it will be in.

So if the P-40 makes it to the fix patch, what variants will we get?

Is the P-40 w/M-105 engine included too?

Too bad about the fixed P-40. Still, we get the Hawk 75, and that will arguably be one of the greatest add-on flyable planes, apart from the flyable DBs and the upcoming SB2.

I can foresee some really great Winter War and Continuation War scenarios for both sides being uploaded before long.

well, i understand in total, but, little sad news about "project p-40"...

Is the P-40 w/M-105 engine included too?

these p-40 not so important aircrafts and i think no (in fact, at first, we don't know DT did all soviet load outs for p-40e etc or not), because we not saw any answers too, but maybe it's wrong...

about loadouts and new features too, for example, if SAB-50 and 100 now ready, need to give their for p-40 (and other PVO-fighters), because from 43 planes was used, mainly, in PVO and how attack fighter in naval aviation...

mainly, i saw info only like this (http://www.airwar.ru/history/av2ww/soviet/p40/p40.html) - В ПВО "Киттихауки" применялся также в роли самолета - осветителя. Такие машины занимали позицию на 2500-3000 м выше строя вражеских ночных бомбардировщиков и сбрасывали вниз светящиеся авиабомбы САБ-100, подсвечивая цели для атакующих. В этом качестве "Киттихаук", поднимавший шесть САБ-100, был лучше, чем "Харрикейн" (четыре) и отечественные истребители (по две). В таком качестве самолет был впервые успешно применен под Киевом в 1944.

plus loadout for p-40 with one sab-50 from other book...

Don't forget the 4 flyable Ki-45 Nick versions :D

One way or another...the P-40 is coming :)
