It is the only one original P-11 in the world. And it is in air museum in Kraków in Poland. It engine still work

And P-11 had dropable fuel tank IRL. If fuel tank get fire pilot could drop it.


Also there is a project to bulit P-11 flyable replica in Poland. Maby some day we could see it in the air.


In 4.10 patch there will be improved P-11 model with new DM hit boxes and i hope FM also.

Yes. However, it's not the first with that feature. The Polish PWS-10 also had a drop-able main fuel tank.



Who originally came up with the idea is anyone's guess.

As for the wing guns, it would seem like a relatively easy addition - delete the barrels, flatten the blisters, adjust the skin to reflect the changes (I'm sure the blisters use "lighting" illusion enhancement) and modify the weight/balance of the guns and ammo (I don't know any details there).

To tide you over till we get the go-ahead for posting the full guide here's a part of the documentation for 4.10. Just some historical notes for mission makers who want to make historical missions for the Henschel Hs 129.

I'm not a mission builder but I found it an interesting read just the same.

I did notice however that on two different occasions the document states that Hs 29's flew at 5m or less !
Surley that is a typo and you must mean 50m.

i will try to follow the instructions in VOW missions - if 4.10 will be released before the VOW timeline reached april 45

interesting that the rumanians didnt had the MKs ! good to know.

No ... 5m is actually right. However we must remember that parts of Tunisia are simply featureless desert which makes such flying possible at all. I'd rather not try that myself, though.

I stand corrected.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I was thinking 50m was dangerously low, but 5m is just insane!

You have to take your hat off to the pilots who did that for real.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. There will be a ton of great stuff in 4.10 but I still think the Hs129B will be the highlight for me.

Cheers,
