I've just checked, yes you're right, Cyclones.
The B-239 was 1,100 HP and some 1,200 HP.
The B-139 had a top speed of 292 MPH, whilst the B-239 and B-339 both made 324 MPH in level flight, the same as a Hurricane.
The B-139 didn't have the full length "Green House" canopy.
It has the best visibility for any fighter I've flown in WW2 sims so far, with the Bf-109 being probally the worst I've experienced.
The Fins regard the Buffalo with the same affection as the British have for the Spitfire. It was regarded as their best fighter even after they received Bf-109s.
The I-153 is a most interesting aircraft to look at, I have a model kit of one, and 3 are still flying today.
