It almost sounds like it could be modeled as a load-out option rather than a different plane with its own FM, DM and slot.

Maybe. Not sure if that would do everything needed doing but maybe.

With the L and the N one armament option would be to remove two .50cals and ammo for even more light weight performance. This was commonly done although many were reverted back to 6 .50cal standard in the field.

Since the P-40 is getting some love, it might also be worth checking whether there were any uniquely Soviet or British/Commonwealth load-outs.

Certainly, some of the early P-40/Hawk 81 series were armed with just British armament and ordinance. This might have been true for later ones as well. Also, I believe that it was typical for Soviet P-40s to be equipped with Soviet ordinance although they kept the U.S. guns.

The renewed P-40s will have a lot of loadout combos, with american, british and soviet bombs

Rockets too?

14th Air Force used the bazooka type rockets in China. (Same as on our current P-47).

I guess bazooka rockets will be available on late variants.

Just curious here: what prevents ships from showing on the inflight map, as all ground objects show up?? Any possibiolity of including any of the command and control mods and map pad interfaces with the 4.12 patch?

I love what you're going to do with the P40 along with the new 3D model! Sensational...

What about P51 having bazooka rockets too? It would be nice.

BTW i know you guys have a lot of work but P51 also needs attention:

Correction of the P51B/C wing damage bug showing 3 mg when hit in leading edge,
Straight wings for P51B/C (not the D series wings we have now that make the P51B/C a frankenplane)
Higher positioned gunsight +inside mirror for Bs.

[dreaming mode on] And why not have a P51A? This is one sexy aircraft...[off]
