I have been playing IL2FB now for nearly a year since its release 1st campaign was with the Fw190 (always a good start) then a JG54 campaign in the Bf109F2 and a stuka campaign (what a great plane!!).
Just recently started flying the P40E and wow its fantastic. Its not too clever climbing or in a straight line, but in a truning fight its awesome. I have tried a few QMB fights with 4 Bf109F4's on Ace and I downed every single one.
Take the fight down to tree top level and start grinding them down. I though I would read about the P40 in Black Cross Red star and it states that any fighter trying a turning fight against a P40 is tantamount to suicide, I can see why.
I thin I prefer more machine guns to less and a cannon. Although the punch isn't as strong as the cannon, it makes up for it in the amount of ammo spat out against a target. I guess it means that if you miss with the cannon you miss. But if your not on target with machine guns that a least some of the bullets might hit the target and you can carry more ammo.
Great Plane gonna try the Lenningrad campaign in it and I downloaded some sharks teeth ruski skins for it. Can I skin the whole of my squadron in single player campaigns or only my own plane. Would look wicked if i could do the whole squadron.
