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!!!

Impressed by the big gun droping. Could this be done to all the Wfgr 21 German fighters can carry ? This would help a lot !

Thx !

Thanks for the great update! I look forward to the Hs129 with great eagerness. I have one question concerning the Hs129B-3 gunsight. I have seen pictures of the B-3 with a combined reflector/telescopic gunsight (I can't remember the designation of it). Are there any plans to implement that with DT's Hs129B-3?

Thanks,

This have been discussed alot. References show following situation:

Half of the few B-3 version, that saw action (~40 total) were refit B-2's, carrying their old ReVi, for the other half real B-3 there is not one reliable photograph, that shows any periscope sight (ZFR-3A)... in fact we found no photograph of a B-3, just manual drawings.

So the knwoledge situation about the use of the periscope sight is very unsure (we welcome any further reference, if you have) and because we are not able to 100% correctly simulate the look of a zoomed reticle outside the canopy (the pilot probably wasn't able to press his eye on the lense), we decided to skip this for now and stick with the ReVi12C, simulating only converted B-2's.
