It is interesting to see this as "favorable" comparison. Basically he said that P-40 "could" outturn P-38, when P-38 was never intended to be a turn-fighter and turning was not the way to beat agile Japanese fighters anyway. He does not bring up any other "favorable" qualities of P-40 over P-38 and even that better turning is questionable, as "some pilots" did not realize it

 

Yep, I think he was more just point out a notable difference between the planes and  not so much indicating turn fighting a more agile plane. ie This feature stood out to him.

He's not, I'm pretty sure he just means that there's a lot of pressure on their shoulders.

What date did the P40s enter Africa?

It is difficult to look for images or skins of these devices in 1941 ..... it seems that they were more active since 1942

 

that skin is the only one I find that I participate in tobruck

Late summer 1941, Tomahawks.

End of 1941, Kittyhawks, to supplement and then replace the Tomahawks.

By the end of January 1942, two squadrons had been completely re-equipped.

Me too!

Three RAF squadrons operated this aircraft up until 1943... Imagine racing across the channel, shooting up E boats on route, then hammering a jerry airfield, ground convoys and trains, all things the Whirlwind did well and was highly praised for.

Rhubarbs and Roadsteads ops were it's forte, plus it could hold it's own against 109's at lower altitudes.

So yes, I would love to see someone put one in game...
