I see that in Tunisia F's and L's saw action, but from what I've been reading it seems the earliest versions were the most used (because they were the most available)
It really depends on which air force you are talking about.. Apparently, almost everybody had some version of a p40 in ww2.
Anyone notice the p40e m-105 field mod pulls so hard to the right that it is impossible to fight with? You can't _ever_ hit 30,000 rpms level, even in a dive it took awhile to get there. Take-off is also really scarey when it just shoots right -- like full rudder.
I thought it was the wind for a second, but i flipped direction and it still pulled hard right. I double-checked and triple-checked my rudder, dead-even.
I flew other p40s on the same map, different maps, then the modded on other maps, none of the other ones pulled so hard, yet the modded always pulled right.
EDIT: Found this: The P-40F/L was extensively used by U.S. fighter groups operating in the Mediterranian Theater.
Can anybody else confirm this?
