Ahhhhh....Coffee!
Personally...I would like to see the A-36 introduced...for two reasons.
First, it fought in the war in fairly substantial numbers and in several arenas.
Secondly, while it suffered the same performance problems of the similarly powered P-40, by all accounts it was a sterling performer at low altitude. Being a ton lighter than the Merlin-powered Mustangs it was also much more maneuverable. Thus it would be nigh perfect for the low-altitude furball mentality of many pilots in the main arena.
Oh, and I suppose one could add a third reason to the list...it was armed with four 20mm cannon...the only American fighter so armed during the entire WWII period.
Your thoughts?
