I'd much rather see some thing that achieved operational status, such as the Westland Whirlwind. Small, twin engined and cannon armed it's make a sweet early/mid war ride.
Max speed: 360mph at 15,000 ft
Max climb: 1,300 ft/min
Time to 20,000: 8,6 min
service ceiling: 30,000
Endurance: 1,25 hrs
2 x 250 or 2 x 500 lb bombs
four centre mounted Mk.1 Hispanos
For those that don't know it it looked a bit like a small single boom P38.
