OK, let me qualify this choice - 6-50 caliber option, 50% fuel, drop tanks for range, bubble canopy for visibilty...yes I'm talking about the mighty P-47D-40!
Surprising turn rate
large ammo load (even with 6 50s)
DURABILITY
speed enough to out run the G-for brains crowd
Speed enough to force a few runners to fight
Excellent scissors fighter
surprising climb rate (without drop tanks)
and if your into ordinance, well, it's one of the best
You can pancake and still survive...very tough plane
Extremely stable aircraft with no bad habits
If you do stall it, it recovers easily
Always available - ENY limiter be damned
And if your into perks, you can build them quickly
