    Strange that the P-40N actually is lighter, has more power and was the fastest of all WW2 P-40's and the most numerous version built.

    That the FM does not reflect this is strange.

    Here's a link for some info:

    Is this one of the approved FH sites for technical data??? :dunno:

    According to RAAF notes, the P40-N is 1000lbs lighter than the -E , can climb to 15,000ft faster than the -E could climb to 10,000ft, max speed 12mph faster at SL, and at 17,300ft 26mph faster than the -E

    Last updated FHL one Zeke was removed to put another Pe2(3). This time pls remove some red plane.

    Like gunther used to write:

    * * * * * * PLS fix gold ottos * * * * * * *

    Just to remember: FHL 1.66 RPS
    - Plane ----Allies----Axis---Allies Advantage
    *Fighters***51****39*******+ 12
    *Bombers***16****12*******+ 4

    @strafe -
    Just counted, Your numbers are close but not all true.

    Planes-------------Allies----Axis---Allied Advantage
    Fighter Types------23-------13----10
    Fighter Slots-------51-------37----14
    Bomber Types------10-------8-----2
    Bomber Slots-------15-------15----0

    What this points out is that Red and Gold have the same number of bombers to pick from. Its just that Gold has 4 JU-87 variants to choose from and Red has only 2 B-17 variants to choose from.

    Now as for fighters the allies have more variety of aircraft this is true. But if you want to point the finger at someone, blame your commander H.Georing. It was he who ordered that only one type of aircraft be produced so as to streamline production. In actuality this method had the reverse effect. Which is partially why you see sooo many variants of axis aircraft in real life. Now how many aircraft are available per side as to the RPS?? I havent done that to see if it has any balance or not.

    If we need to give up a slot on the allied side I could easily live without one of the middle spit variants or one of the LA5 variants.

    out of the +12 fighters... at least 6 are early war junk....

    out of the +4 bombers... we got you good, didn't we? :p

    so how about we do this... you get the raiden.... and give up that 650 km/h cruising speed, 30mm HO dweebing, Me-262A :deal: :D

    So axis have to be satisfield to have 4 Ju87 versions to choose from instead 2B17 versions? Or maybe B5n2, DB3A.... can be compared to TBFs....

    Not only allies have more options, but their bombers are far better than axis. Don't forget allies otto settings.... everyone here know that how it works better to allies.

    Gold side isn't only german planes, there are Italian and Japanese too.
    A Ju-290, Piaggio P108, or G8M... could be added since Pe8 has been put it breaking all rules to add new plane.

    Again: Axis isn't only german planes, there are Italian and Japanese.
    There are many posts discussing about which plane could be added to axis.

    You mean "Fugs?"
    Me and drunken pals used to roar around in a Mafia Staff Car [1969 Ford Brougham], looking for things to steal, with Fugs Music playing really loud. So MANY could be offended, but few could catch up to us to voice their opinion
    Of course, the music would be turned off as soon as we spotted something NOT TIED DOWN that we could steal...

    @ strafe - You're missing my point. Im partially agreeing with you. Im basing my counts on slots. I never claimed that 2 B17 equal 4 JU88. Im pointing out why the slot counts add up to X when the type count adds up to Y. Red and Gold have the same slot count for bombers. SO for bombers I disagree that we have advantage for plane selection. As far as fighters go, Yes the Allies ( that would be America, Canada, Britain, French, Australia, NewZealand, and some others) have a slot count advantage over the Axis ( that would be Germany, Austria, Italy, Japan, and some others).

    Had I used the term "Reich" then you would be warrented to critique my post. But since I never refered to the term Axis being only Germany, I am curious as to why you would assume I did.

    Take a breather, read the post a few times, Its constructive criticism not an attack against your post.

    what about removing i153 and ki27? these supaflies ussually warps, Warbirds net engine isn't good for such maneuvrable planes, ki27 is also very egzotic and useless plane.

    ki27 has a very usefull purpose, its the only plane golds have that can take on an il53 head to head. Wont take an il53 down as fast in gunnery as an il53 can destroy a ki27, but the fights are well worth it ;)
