What the hell is "FP-3"?

[olek_z17]

As in the title, why is the F4F Wildcat called FP-3 in the game? It was never called that by anyone, so why here?

FP-3 Fighter Bomber exist?

I am trying to locate a plane designated FP-3 during ww2 and cannot find any information on it. What company made it and does it have any designations other then FP-3? Any info helps. Thx

It is due to copyright as Grumman owns the design. Its the same reason that the TBF is called AP-1 while the other vehicle names are correct (like the SBD which was made by Douglas). On the Grumman website they state “Similarly, the free license does not apply to use of Northrop Grumman’s trademarks for any form of merchandise such as toys, models, clothing, coffee cups, notebooks, electronic or video games”
