P-40S SuperHawk SF2 ('What If') 1.0

P-40S SuperHawk

This is a fictional upgrade of the P-40N Warhawk.

Background:

With the XP-40Q project failing to get of the ground Curtiss came up with an upgrade to the existing late model P-40 airframes that would give them performance on par with the XP-40Q and the P-51D. The resulting P-40S SuperHawk performs so well it rapidly becomes one of the front line fighters of choice. It will even go on to serve in the Korean War alongside the P-51D.

The upgrade:

- 2200HP Packard V-2250 engine (Packard built Merlin 1710 upgraded to 2200HP).

- Four-bladed Rotol propeller.

- 4 x 20mm Hispano Mk II cannons.

- K-14 gyro gunsight.

- Range: 650 mi (560 nmi, 1,100 km400 nmi (459 mi, 740 km).

- Service ceiling: 43,500 ft (13,258 m).

- Rate of climb: 3,650 ft/min (18.5 m/s).

I have included skins for every late war WWII theatre the P-40 operated in as well as a ‘what if’ USAF WWII ETO and Korea skin. There are skins for the RAAF, RAF, RNZAF, USAF and Soviet Airforce.
