CaC Boomerang
Although a mediocre fighter, the Boomerang gave fairly good service in the army co-operation role. It had to! At the time there was very limited options available to the RAAF. My favourite was 'Hep Cat'!

If we want an Australian fighter how about a CaC CA-15 for a 1946 senario

Kind of like an Australian Hurricane?

nah ... if anything the Boomerang was closest in performance to the Brewster Buffalo. Slightly lower top speed but better guns (20mm) and better rate of climb. The Buffalo had a lower wing loading.

Maximum speed: 305 mph (265 knots, 491 km/h) at 15,500 ft (4,730 m)
Range: 930 mi (810 nm, 1,500 km)
Service ceiling: 29,000 ft (8,800 m)
Rate of climb: 2,940 ft/min (14.9 m/s)

2× 20 mm (0.787 in) Hispano or CAC cannons
4× 0.303 in (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns
Bombs: Could be fitted when the large drop tank was not carried



F2A-3 ***
Powerplant: 1,200 hp (895 kW) Wright R-1820-40 radial engine
Empty weight: 4,732 lb (2,146 kg)
Max takeoff weight: 6,321 lb (2,867 kg)

2 × 0.50 in (12.7 mm) wing-mounted M2 machine guns

EDIT:
The Boomerang would be a great addition for us Aussies .. but really wouldn't interest anyone else much

It only ever flew for the RAAF as far as I know and is going to perform pretty much like the Buffalo in game.
