Ok as an Australian I think this would be an awesome addition for EW Arena's and DA matches.
This aircraft with its minimal airframe and enormous engine plus the fact that it carries the same amount of firepower as Mid and Late war spits. This thing could challenge the Hurri in Turn and the Zero in firepower and speed.
It does not seem fast but with that Power to Weight and some height this thing could be a deadly aircraft to come across.
And of course a very patriotic Australian cannot say no to this. (Americans it was loosely based on the T-6 Texan so give some support here

( Ok I know it has been requested, but seriously I might even keep bumping this just so HiTech will get in on it. Because the population of AH is American,British then Aussie then other European countries and so on) And seeing as we have Italian and English and TONS of American and German. Its time we had a colonial invention in here to kick arse and take some rather interesting names........ SHawk and Wideload for example >
