Curtiss P-40M-10 Warhawk

   Hello everybody. I’d like to introduce and suggest the Curtiss P-40M-10 Warhawk for USA Aviation, and this is one of my series of suggestions for the P-40 variants in the US Army Air Corps and US Army Air Force services. The P-40M-10 variant was a development of a similar version to the P-40K with some changes.

TL;DR:

A P-40 variant (Kittyhawk Mk. III) akin to the P-40K but with a 1,200-hp Allison V-1710-81 uprated for better performance at altitude and an extended fuselage akin to the P-40F-10.

Conclusion | Why it should be in the game

   I made this suggestion to request more World War II-era vehicles for War Thunder. Like the P-40K, I feel the P-40M has a significant history, as this was another variant that was exported to the Allied powers for their operations in Russia, CBI, and the Far East. The American units also used the P-40Ms in the CBI theater alongside the P-40Ns. Performance-wise, the P-40M-10 was akin to the P-40K but lighter and should perform somewhat better than the P-40K and P-40E, thanks to the tuned output from the V-1710-81. Thus, this P-40M-10 would make a good candidate as the tech tree or premium addition to the P-40 Warhawk family for US Aviation in War Thunder.

A +1 from me, the M would be pretty cool to see added. Plus, it can also be added to the Finnish Tree as they operated a captured Soviet P-40M. Pretty neat history there actually
