4.12 development update discussion and feedback

My preference is the P36, be sure, but, the Finnish Hawks have the best chance of seeing use in IL2, they have the only real map to use them on.

Yes, I know about the Hawaii map, and yes that is the only time US P36s saw combat, but it still would be cool to find a way to use them.

We only have one map of France as well.

If you would like a what if type of scenario the RAF had I think about 200 P36 in reserve in early 1941

[ElAurens]

Yes they did.

Planes originally destined for France.

They ended up in North Africa and in the CBI theater of operations.

British Mohawks (P-36) even saw limited operational service in Burma.

You mean East Africa, right?

Well yes, Egypt and areas under British control. Most ( all? ) went to the SAAF. I tend to lump it all into North Africa as that is where most of the later combat was. Early on it would have been against the RA of course.
