The P-40 F also known as "Kittyhawk II" and later with american built Rolls Royce Merlin engines
"Warhawk". The P-40 F was an E version powered with a british Rolls Royce Merlin engine.
"This experimental P-40D could be distinguished from the stock P-40E by the absence of the top-mounted carburetor air scoop. The Merlin engine did much to overcome the limitations imposed by the Allison, and a total of 1311 examples powered by the American-made version of the Merlin built by the Packard Motor Car Company were ordered under the designation P-40F."
I belive "The Forty" deserves better on Il-2 1946, its one hell of a fighter, it can out loop a Spitfire, Out turn a Messerschmitt, fight Zeros and try vertical combat with Focke Wulfs if handed carefully.
I belive the P-40 should get a more Powerfull engine, it would be lovley.

What do you fellows think?
Are there any other variants of The Forty than deserves to be on Il-2?
Very best regards!
