By the way, wasn't Kittyhawk MK IA (P-40E) fitted with underwing bomb racks? The current model doesn't have them.

Many wartime pictures suggest that the use of small size bombs under the wings was widespread from the P-40F onwards. On the other hand, some references suggest that small bombs were used also by P-40s in the Phlippines campaign (1941) but it's not clear what version carried them as there were both P40B/Cs and P-40Es operating together (source: Bloody Shambles vol. 1 by C.

Will the new P-40 models have an improved DM?

[Macwan]

Yes, they will. At least the 3D, texture and collision boxes are much more detailled.

Cheers !

Macwan.

14th. Air Force P 40s were often armed with the bazooka type rocket launcher, as seen on the P47 in IL2.
