Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

[ElAurens]

Wow, very cool. I am really looking forward to this.

And I need to edit my wish list, I said Hawk 81, and meant to say Hawk 87. Our early P40 is excellent, it's the late models that are awful.

Now, for that Hawk III...

You know an update to the P-40 lineup would definitely be a good thing to see. The P-40 is one of those aircraft that spans most of the conflict and shows up virtually everywhere. They were being used well into late 1944 with the latest versions in the Pacific, Italy, Russia and so forth. Upgrading what we have an maybe adding a version or two could be really useful.

Fixing that dihedral problem with the wings would be good.

I believe the highest performing version we're lacking is the P-40N which was produced in fairly significant numbers if I remember correctly.

Correct, the P40N was the highest production version.

The total number of all variants was 13,738, 5000 were P40Ns.

I just want an early model with the wing guns removed to save weight (a fairly common field mod in Soviet service)...

It is a pretty easy armament option to create and would add quite a bit (at least for those who want to see a P-40 with two cowling 0.50s and prided, of all things imaginable, for its climb rate over the Hurricane).

That could be as "easy" as an armament option... I wonder.
