P-39Q Airacobra

描述
Weapon Mapping:

This Airacobra uses the Rogue as its primary model. The Primary slot is the same as always, with two hard points. The Secondary slot is intended for the aircraft's cannon, and will fire from front and center. The Bottom slot is intended for bombs and only has one hardpoint. The Left slot is intended for machine guns, and has four total hard points (mapped accordingly to the aircraft).

Skins:

There are four skins used: one American, one Polish, and two Soviet.

History & Facts:

One of the US's foremost early war aircraft, the P-39Q was a controversial plane that was underpowered from the start and unable to keep up with other aircraft at high altitudes. As it was unable to perform the interceptor/bomber escort role, the Airacobra soon fell out of favor and became a major Lend-Lease export to the USSR. The Soviets utilized the Iron Dog well, taking advantage of its firepower and sturdy construction to turn it into one of the most successful fighters in the war. It was also used by the Free French, British, Italian, and many other allied forces. To this day, it still holds the record for most kills by any single American fighter type.

References and Credits:

Much thanks to Stormlight for help with the modeling and mapping this aircraft; his help was instrumental in producing this. Sound files were collected from Battlefield 1942 and historical information gathered from Wikipedia.

No reason not to. :) And the loadout sounds good. The aircraft was used in the ground attack role, but that wasn't its primary purpose. The Soviets used it as a fighter, and at low altitudes it performed well. It might be best to say that its role was ground support; taking out the enemy aircraft helps the troops just as much as strafing runs over fortified positions.

Ah, I see. I stand corrected.

But still, because of that, I chose to fit the AC/40 in the right hand slot. Left is the standard Vulcan. Probably should use Turbos there.

Bottom slot is Meteors, because why not?

It was actually a high end anti-aircraft gun. The P-38 and the P-39 were designed concurrently with the objective of producing a high caliber main cannon to take down enemy bombers. The P-38 became the favorite for the interceptor and fighter role in the US, but the Soviets loved it for its firepower against German fighters.

But yes, 37 millimeters was the main gun. On a few models, they went back to the Hispano 20mm cannon, but it performed unsatisfactorily.

The "main gun" on this aircraft was originally a 37mm cannon if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, you heard me, thirty-seven millimeters . Basically a low-end anti-tank gun.
