The A-36 had two .50's in each wing and two in the nose under the engine.  It also had small dive brakes.  It was used in the Europen theater and in China as well.

I dont think the A36 was ever in China. It was in Italy Sicily and North Africa. There were 500 ordered and 23300 sorties flown so it should qualify.

The 311th Fighter Bomber Group based in India went into action in Burma with two squadrons of P-51As and one squadron of A-36As. So yes, the A-36 did see action in the CBI Theater.

There are sooooo many aircraft we need more than yet another US fighter/attacker.

To read these boards you'd sometimes think that WWII was the US vs the US with Germany and the UK as bit players.

If not for the UK the Mustang might not have ever been so your argument HELPS the case of the P51/Mustang Ia and A36 IMO. Thank you.  :aok

We need Russian, Japanese and Italian aircraft.

The set is loaded to the gills with American aircraft already.  We don't need comparatively rare model added right now.

Yes, compared to a lot of other aircraft waiting to be added, that is rare.
