I love flying! So....I'll be happy.

I'd be pissed. The plane they gave me is missing it's fucking cannon.

>P-63: twice as shit-hot

YES, NIGGA, YES

They fixed that, actually. The Russians were misloading the aircraft. Bell aircraft didn't even believe it was happening until an experienced pilot demonstrated the flat spin for one of their reps. The plane was balanced for the forward weight of cannon and ammo, the instructions even said that unarmed planes being ferried needed to have a box of spent shells left in the forward cannon ammo bay (the plane was designed at a minimum to fly properly with the forward gun's ammo spent, it didn't eject the casings overboard like most guns, apparently.)

Once they got that worked out the P-39s were in good shape. The P-63 was just a souped-up P-39 built to order for happy Russians, so it ironed out any remaining tendencies towards flat spins.

P-39/63 are some of the most criminally under-rated aircraft of the war.

Russian? How about French in Indochina? That's where the most interesting use of the Kingcobra was.

>being more scared of a 109 than a 190 than a P-63

That seems rather backwards. The 109 might be better than a 190 in sheer power/weight and vertical performance but a P-63 will shit on both of them at any altitude in that regard. It'll also out-roll the fuck out of a 109.

The 190, however, has a peak roll rate of 190+ degrees a second, which is FUCKING INSANE. No matter what you do it's a slippery little bastard that can leave you talking to yourself in a real hurry if you're careless.

Think he means landing these shits, keeping the wingtip of my model 109, off the ground is like skating on a plane k of wood with one foot, and my fw190 model has never not flipped

>Think he means landing these shits,

Aaaaah, yeah, true. The fullscale ones weren't much better; a great many 109s were lost in landing accidents because of that issue. Nasty, narrow little landing gear.
