FTC_Karaya Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Very nice camo but here's my 2 cents: 1) This is a fictional skin anyways. How about changing the "H75" marking on the tail into a "H87"? Model H87 was the Curtiss company designation for all P-40 models from the P-40D onwards. 2) Any chance for a version without roundels so the ingame markings can be used with it?

FTC_Karaya Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 Yes, is there a higher quality version of this available?
Team Fusion Buzzsaw Posted January 9, 2022 Team Fusion Posted January 9, 2022 At some point we hope to do a version of the H75... it would not be that much work to convert the Tomahawk. No timeline promises. But it is a real possibility for a release with a future module. 2 1 2

Team Fusion Buzzsaw Posted January 9, 2022 Team Fusion Posted January 9, 2022 17 minutes ago, EMS2/4_kerlir said: Battle of France?...... We are not planning a module which is completely dedicated to the Battle of France at this point. Our plan at this point is to add on French aircraft which can be used on the existing Channel map when we can within the limitations of our manpower resources. So we added the Dewoitine D.520 in the TOBRUK module even though it wasn't really relevant to the Desert map historically. But this aircraft could be used on the existing Channel map because the D.520's saw most of their combat during the later stages of the Battle of France... and some of the areas which the aircraft fought over are a part of the Channel map. In the same way, we could possibly add an H.75 for use on the Channel map in late May/early June 1940 scenarios. We'd also like to add an AI French bomber at some point... non-flyable. But these possible additions are all subject to the fact we have limited resources and we need to focus on the aircraft actually needed for a given module. This will become clearer once we make our announcement re. the new TF 6.0 module in the next month or so. An actual Battle of France module would be in the distant future... if it ever happens. Thanks for everyone's patience. ? 1 1
EMS2/4_kerlir Posted January 10, 2022 Author Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Of course French aircraft (H 75, Bloch 152, MS 406, etc) will be welcome on the map channel.? Edited January 10, 2022 by EMS2/4_kerlir 1 1
FTC_Karaya Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Would love to see some more french aircraft. The Hawk75 afaik was the most successful fighter in french service as far as kill claims / losses goes. Like the D.520, the Hawk was also used by Vichy France and clashed with allied forces several times, including for example a dogfight with US Wildcats during the Operation Torch landings. Other aircraft I'd like to see in a future expansion: P-40F/L P-40K/M Martlet/Wildcat IV including a working carrier Re.2001 C.200 A-36 I had the most fun in 6.0 so far with the underdogs like the P-40s, the C.202, the D.520, etc. The Bf109 & Spitfire meta just gets stale after years of flying them almost exclusively. 1

All of the above are on the list... but no timeline as yet. The P-40F would be a relatively simple addition.... it is a P-40E with a Packard Merlin version of the Merlin XX... with front cowling differences. It was limited to action in the Desert in 1942, Tunisia in 1942/43 and Italy 1943/1944. P-40K/M has quite a lot of changes... lengthened fuselage, other different elements. Similar operational life to P-40F. The Martlet is slightly more complex with the addition of folding wings and hook.... as well as three guns per wing. Saw action in 1942 in the Med. C.200 is more complex, but could use elements from the existing C.202. Used from 1940-1943 in Desert/Italy. Re.2001 would be a completely new aircraft. Used 1942/1943 Italy, not in desert. Lots of work. A-36 could be done, but only after a P-51A is completed... not done before. It is also map specific... only saw action in the Med in Tunisia and Italy starting in 1943, not in NW Europe. Obviously anything in the P-51/A-36 series would be a completely new aircraft. 1
Enceladus828 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 @Buzzsaw thanks for the info ? We're talking years down the road... quite likely if you ever make it to TF 8.0 and once many of the popular and widely used aircraft are in the game… if there's any planes like the Sunderland, or the CANT 1007, CANT 506, some other Italian birds, or a few other AI planes that you want to make flyable but by this point don't fit into the module that you're making, could you release them individually or in packs like 2-3 planes per pack? P.S. you've explained several times in the past why planes like the Sunderland, CANT 1007, Fw-200, He-115 won't be flyable in the game anytime soon (unless you get a whackload of qualified modellers) so no need to explain.
