Yep.   Allison-powered P-51, with 6 .50 cal (two of which are
mounted in the front lower- fuselage) machine guns, perforated
slat dive brakes on upper and lower wing surfaces that kept dive speed between 250-300 mph, and wing hard points for 2 500#
bombs.

The engine was optimized for performance below 10K.

Add Biplane Dive bombers!!!!!!! Like CR42 (I think it was the CR42, or 1 of them that carried a very good bomb load and was used up untill mid/earlylate war!!!and could go at top speed of 312mph in LEVEL flight!

And I-153 Carried 2x110lb bombs and 6xrockets and (Earlyversions) 4x7.7mm mg's (Later versions) 2x12.5mm mgs or 2x20 mm cannons:eek: ! Some also had retractable landing gear and they could out manuver any mono plane in AH!
