P-40 in beta

From Jason: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/18406-p-40-beta/

Not sure if that means release tomorrow or next week, probably next week, TBH

Hopefully some No.3 Squadron RAAF / No.112 Squadron RAF skins :cool:

:cool: Thanks for that Ed, what a lovely vid and it was like watching a real airshow of the P40. She looked and sounded wonderful.

Any of you lads still sitting on the fence with regards to BoS (&BoM for the P40), I’ve flown a fair chunk of the single player campaign in a variety of different Russian planes, slowly making it harder (still have map icons on and help with engine management (piss poor I know, but just time to fly!!). Anyway I find it a lot harder to fly, especially takeofs and landings, with a much better sense of the wind and weight compared to Cod, combined with an ice runway and no tailwheel lock on some planes, I keep ground looping. Enemy AI Bombers try and evade well, while Stukas will attack you !! Generally the shooting is harder for me and I find everything happens faster. Naviagtion in that waste land is tougher but doable. Only men who want a challenge need apply should be printed on the box!

Here she comes! :cool:

Anyone yet tried it? It is sloooooooooooooooow on the climb; even against a low-ranking AI F4 you are hard pressed to keep anywhere near effective firing range. Reminds me of the uber G2 dominance period in Il-2.

Good turn and roll, though, as well as engine instruments that I can actually understand :slight_smile:
