In the P-39D (Model 15) maximum 1 x 500 lb (227 kg) bomb or a single 145 gal (549 l) drop tank.

It was on the P-39N "Airacobra" fighter with board number 100 that Alexander Pokryshkin flew and from the spring of 1943 shot down 48 enemy aircraft, bringing his personal victories to 59 aircraft.
Fuel tank also available in the library.

Operated by the US Air Force, VVS USSR, Royal Air Force.
You need to release at least two versions for different Markings GWX or stock SH3

I will be converting the model to a USA & Russian versions soon.

The RAF version carrier a 250kg bomb under each wing, and a depth charge under the belly. The depth charge I will probably add at a later date. I think this aircraft is deadly enough with 6 AAGuns and 1 HE-Cannon plus the 2 bombs as shown.

It is advisable to apply Markings for use in different air forces.

I could not get information about the underwing bomb racks.
Armament: There are no bombs, one 37 mm M4 cannon with ammunition of 15 rounds, two 12.7 mm M2 machine guns (300 rounds each) and two 7.62 mm MG40 machine guns (500 rounds per barrel).

I suggest placing a 1x 250 kg bomb or 1 depthcharge bomb or an outboard fuel tank under the fuselage.

P-39Q Airacobra is different from P-63 Kingcobra

A standard bomb holder is mounted on an axial line under the fuselage. It is possible to suspend bombs of caliber up to 500 pounds or an additional fuel tank.

Due to the small capacity of the internal fuel tanks, an additional fuel tank, often with a capacity of 75 gallons, was often hung under the Cobra fuselages. The tank was mounted on a standard bomb holder.

Looking better and better! I liked the latest screenshots, and I'm happy there will be a Russian version; I was just about to ask ….

as you guys probably know it was not very popular with the United States, but I think it's a beautiful little fighter. Plus the big ol' gun up front (37mm) is awesome.

RickSarg · 07-11-20, 10:38 AM

Currently having a problem! When I load the aircraft into the museum it'll fly for a while then suddenly crash into the sea and I'm not sure why!?

EDIT: now fixed!!

Tell us how you did it. I have the same problem with Avengers.

I had an error in the SIM file under unit_Airplane where the Rudder didn't match the DAT file, (just a silly typo on my part. oops) so in effect when the plane made a turn the rudder could not be called so the plane crashed into the sea. Left Wing & Right Wing would also have the same effect.

hope this makes sense.
