i would personally love to have this in the game! ive flown one in RW multiple times. the T-6 is a very stable plane, so the comment about it stalling, he had to have a very low power setting... i flew mine at warbirds adventure in florida, and was allowed to take it off because i had flown with them before, but its a very good plane. its not harder to fly than a P-51. if i can get kills dog fighting with a tbm, im sure the t6 will be able to DF if not even better... there are reports (1 particular one comes to mind that was on history channel in which a SBD took on and shot down 3 Zeros i believe) where SBD's have dog fighted and have won victories, so the T-6 should be able too.

during vietnam and korean, they were used in combat for forward air control aircraft



 If you bothered to read my post,I said he was stalling trying to take a pic of me,the stearman had an airspeed of 65 mph so the T6 had to slow and drop flaps to try to get that slow and the stall buzzer was telling him and the pilot to drop nose and get moving so ya it was stalling....

 Geese I belive the landing speed is higher....
