Campyboo Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I thought the plane had 6 machine guns? looks great though Edited April 3, 2015 by Campyboo 1
Blooddawn1942 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Cool. Looking forward. Thanks for the screenshots!
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Very cool, but that was a good question why only 4 .50 cals ?
Bullets Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Thought the E1 had 3 guns in each wing? Late April Fools perhaps?
LLv44_Mprhead Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 My guess is that basic version will be one with 2 machine guns removed, as was the case quite often in Soviet Union, and 2 more .50 cals will be unlock.
Feathered_IV Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Is it just me or is the chin intake just a fraction too small?
Potenz Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Great work lads!!! so in a few months there will start the .50 cal madness all over again LOL
Blitzen Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Messerchmitt fodder( & has a wicked high speed stall .This plane is going to go through some interesting FM growth when introduced...maybe more than the FW-190.... )
Jason_Williams Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Guys, It did have 6 guns per standard U.S. Regs but according to Viks there were instances where 2 were removed to save weight or when guns were in short supply. So they made adding the 2 guns back an Unlock. So you will have 6 if you want. Jason
Jade_Monkey Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Awesome news! Thats an interesting landing gear desing. It folds and twists? From a purely amateur perpective, that sounds like it would add more complexity and they would be more prone to failure.
I./JG1_Baron Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Looks good. Looking forward to nice custom shark camo from players
Jason_Williams Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Beautiful! ETA for next patch Jason? Oh I think maybe end of the month is what Han told me. Jason

fergal69 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Very nice - can't wait to see what you do with the ME110 & JU88
Yakdriver Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 make sure you supply us with FAB^s for the 3 hardpoints and to make use of that Droptank attachment point there... and if the gun was removed, i bet the hole was patched over (3d!) or taped over (3D!)nice catch on the flap, canopy angle, weapons details and stuff. GOOD! really GOOD!
1CGS LukeFF Posted April 3, 2015 1CGS Posted April 3, 2015 I like the idea behind the machine gun setup, as the Russians were fond of removing guns from the P-40 (and the P-39 as well).
unreasonable Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Is it just me or is the chin intake just a fraction too small? I think it is just the angle of the pics, plus the sharks teeth always make it look bigger in photos.
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I like the idea behind the machine gun setup, as the Russians were fond of removing guns from the P-40 (and the P-39 as well). Genuine question: Do you have any sources where I could read about the performance differences between the "gun-in" and "gun-out" variants?
1CGS LukeFF Posted April 3, 2015 1CGS Posted April 3, 2015 Genuine question: Do you have any sources where I could read about the performance differences between the "gun-in" and "gun-out" variants? No, unfortunately I do not have that sort of data. I did send a whole lot of original P-40 E data to the team, though, so there might be something there they can work with.
Rjel Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) I know the 56thFG did the same thing with some of its P-47s to improve the roll rate. It's hard to imagine it made much difference. Edited April 3, 2015 by Rjel
SOLIDKREATE Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Is this the M105 or the RAF version? I see only 4 x M2 .50 Cal machine guns? I thought it had six?
Spacesheep Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Nice to meet that rude fellow Thanks dev for sharing
Jason_Williams Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Is this the M105 or the RAF version? I see only 4 x M2 .50 Cal machine guns? I thought it had six? Allison Powered U.S. Lend Lease and you will have the choice of 4 or 6 .50's. Jason 3
URUAker Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 If the 4 mg is a field mod then the standar version should be the 6 mg one, and the 4 mg an unlock. 4
1CGS =FB=VikS Posted April 3, 2015 1CGS Posted April 3, 2015 make sure you supply us with FAB^s for the 3 hardpoints E-s had only central loadout (if not to count wing frag bombs - but mostly it wasnt used at all), so we will have central loadout with 250 or 500 kilo bomb. 3x point came with M/N models. 3
LLv44_Mprhead Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 If the 4 mg is a field mod then the standar version should be the 6 mg one, and the 4 mg an unlock. Just like with 190 4 cannons should have been standard and 2 cannon version unlock. Although I am not sure about soviet p-40s, maybe even most of them had only 4 .50s cals? I am sure someone here can come up with data about the numbers...

Camille88 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I Like the Plane. Bravo! But its still WIP - So i just say what i think should be modeled better. Round Parts = Marked Red Just not Smooth/Round enough
IIN8II Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I Like the Plane. Bravo! But its still WIP - So i just say what i think should be modeled better. Round Parts = Marked Red Just not Smooth/Round enough I little too early for this.
