I dont think that this "small" detail is out of the historical context. But I´m not a fanatic of that plane in any case, this is only an example.

You should learn the subject better. Because your "only example" simply isn't true. It's just partially correct.

The original .50 cal machine guns on P-39 were never replaced. The wing mounted .30 cal guns were removed in some regiments to save weight. But again, it wasn't done mandatory on all aircraft. It was left to regiment command discretion.

Also, the first engine start was done in the USA, in case, you don't know.

you say "in some regiments" but I must say again in "most" regiments. I never said that was an Stalin direct order. This Mod was the common proceed... most of the Field MOds works in that way (you know). Sometimes to fix factory malfunction (standard on CCCP first years production), MOST of them to put new technologies on old Planes but In our case is a Weight reduction(fighting capabilities) and a fix to the fighting proposal (gunnery). It was the sense of that Field mod.

By contract of on-loan planes they cant change any part of the given Planes so this Fields Moddification were made undercover, by the mechanics of the regiment (field mod... again).In fact the russian pilots love this plane, that was superb compare to factory models used by US pilots. That was the general opinion of P39 CCCP's pilots.

About the first engine start I would like to say "first engine start on soviet territory" or "first action before take the plane out from the container" or "before first flight on regiment", now is clear, isn't it?

but definitly I was wrong about the nose guns of aircobra, they used to change the 37mm cannon by a 20mm not the cal.50. In any case the nose MOd was less important to russian pilots compare to weght reduccion an wing strenght gained with the wing armament removal. THX for the correction!!!

But... some of us got a question for you:

why all the gunnery and loads improvement goes to axis models? no body heard about the field mods of the russian p40, hurry, p39 and so?

[TROLL MODE=ON]
The Spitfire is perfect! It needs no improvement. Now we just have to get rid of all the models after the MKII and kick some Blue Butt!

The F8F is a Grumman crate so Daidalos won't touch it with a ten-meter force-pike. Sorry.

[FVV190]

sorry my English is poor.

Daidalos team is not doing Grumman aircrafts? or is this related to Don Quixote?

There are legal issues associated with adding Grumman aircraft to the game, unfortunately.

Oh i am sorry to hear that. But thanks so much for your work and I will continue supporting your products.

[FVV190]

I read english very slow but i begin to know about it a bit....

i am not a legal profession but i think you are doing the right thing. "leave it alone".

1 if you want to win the case, hire good lawyers...cost a lot. N-G and MS are both obvirously extremely rich.

2 these money will help more if spent on development, marketing, etc. and now developing the BOB need plenty of resources.

3 there are still plenty aircrafts to work on, even high performance prop. ones. For example the sea fury, which is included in the "untrapack" MOD.

4 things will change when 1c dominant the whole FS bussiness.

since the addons are not official and are by a non-profit party, the legal bs doesn't count,, and no one cares, it's only when there are deep pockets.. then the slimy scumbags lawyers come crawling, so do as you wish..
