There is another one that Vultee made with the gull wing.
its called the Vultee Vengence, it was an early war dive bomber, would be nice for EW.

Hawk 75/P-36 would make more sense.  Just the skins that could be done and the countries that flew it, would make it worthwhile.

true for skins but its realy under gunned imo i like that the p-66 hasnt been in any other flight sim that ive seen
it had poor perf. in china but underskilled pilots/mechanics didnt help it

It had an unusual, "W" shaped wing planform as a result from an error in calculating its center of gravity. Moving the wing back by "sweeping" the center section was a simpler fix than re-designing the wing root. This gives impression of an inverted gull wing, like the F4U Corsair, when seen from an angle, when in fact the wing has a more conventional dihedral on the outer wing panels.
