Sparviero. You probably don't like it, either ... but it'd be a better addition.  :D

The Airacobra is the P-39, which we have.  The P-63 is the Kingcobra.  It may have been used in Russia, but the sources I read said there was some dispute as to whether they actually saw combat.

+1 - there are conflicting resources on whether or not it saw operational combat.  When I researched it years ago, I couldn't find anything about it having actual combat kills.

Aerial victories are not a requirement for combat.

On what planet?


Hey, I am all about getting easy bomber kills but this thing will be a hangar queen within a week of it being introduced. 

Gladiators and Helldivers would get more use than that thing. 

Bring on the Kingcobra in any event.

I actually like the P63, the P63's in WarThunder are actually pretty good. Yes I play it too ocasionally, when the number in here are really, really low, but ONLY in realistic mode, arcade mode is just way too lame in there!!! If modeled correctly it would make an awesome ground attack plane in here. Just my 2 cents!!!! :cheers: :salute

No reason we should have combat requirements on aircraft.  Its a fictional WW2 sim already with all nations available to each chess piece.  Might as well open it up to WW2 era aircraft.  The P63 was in service, as well as things like the Meteor.

Dale has higher standards than War Thunder where any `ol plane they think is cool and players will make a micro purchase for will do.  :D

It's almost certain the P-63 saw combat against the Japanese in the summer of 1945, scoring at least one victory against an Oscar.    Operations by the Soviets  against the Japanese continued to the point that the Kingcobra saw the final combat action by a US-built aircraft in World War Two.
