Not for too long if we go to North Africa and the Med next, eh? http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common.../icon_wink.gif
If all goes well I hope to see these return rather quickly!
The first one I'll miss but the other two I sure as hell won't http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/59.gifQuote:

One of the few allied planes I would love to fly.
I'm going to miss my little Polikarpovs. Must remember to visit them now and again.
You mean "target", don't you ? http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common...on_biggrin.gifQuote:

so, the chances are very good to see a Curtiss in the next Scenario AdOn
The funny thing with the P-40 is:
When i fly it against 109's (e or f) i feel confident to win a encounter.
When i fly a 109 i feel also confident to win against a p-40. :-D
Indeed! Same here. They're a very good match. Though I'm more confident in the P-40's armament and in the 109's flying performance. The P-40 takes a bit more skill to outfly a 109 in my opinion, well the F-4 anyway, which behaves much better at low speeds ...Quote:

I must agree with both of you.
One area where the E and later models excell is in the fighter/bomber role. Not only are the guns very effective against soft skinned vehicles, it can carry a fair bomb load, and when you are done you have a good chance to fight your way out of a tight spot if the bad guys take an interest in your work.
And honestly, I am far more comfortable, and confident, in a Hawk than I am in a Mk. V Spitfire, especially those horribly slow Vc models with the Vokes filter.
I like the p40 for it's nice flight characteristics.
But I will really miss the fw 190. I am a fan of the A series. So hopefully we will get a 41-42 scenario soon after the battle of brittain. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common.../icon_wink.gif
ahh the P-40 real macho plane, Be Sure!
what do I'll miss? heck I'll miss everything we have right now... http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies...smiley-sad.gif
This. I want some Anton love, in a no-homo way.Quote:

+1000. Definitely the lowest point for the relative performance of the Spit. So little cannon ammo as well. I cry for my P-40 when my friends choose the Spit V in desert campaigns online.Quote:

120 shells per canon...
Nope, only 60 on the Mk. V I think?
EDIT: No, you're right, the later C wing carried 120 rpg.
I'm guessing that I won't miss anything the first weeks. I do hope they have the DB sounds somewhat nailed though. Flying with Jafaem's DB sounds the last days have kinda spoiled me.
I'll miss the beautiful sound of the Nieuport 28 engine. Bzzz-Bzzz-Put-Put-Bzzz-Bzzz.... http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/inlove.gif
One of two main things I liked about RoF. IL-2 has so many more likables IMO, I stopped playing RoF alltogether. lolQuote:
