Kingcobra! Damn good airplane. Too bad it's not in the game!

Yeah, it's a good plane to get chewed up by my A6M2-21 Zero! lol. Maybe even my "Oscar"? Either way, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those death traps. Which they were since they had doors!! rather a proper canopy. Nice looking plane though.

A-20 Havoc.

Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war.

Actually, I could be wrong, but I believe their biggest problem was the lack of a supercharger. I think the performance would have been much better with one. The engine was the biggest problem.

The armament was definatly not too shabby, definatly better than any Yak

Better armament, doesn't mean a better plane. The Yak-3 was much lighter due to just have twin MGs and a single cannon. While the P-63 Kingcobra, had four MGs and a nose cannon which weighed it down significantly. My Yak-3 could take care of the Kingcobra anyday.

Agreed. I'm a fan of all the 'cats, but they saved the best for last.

Anytime, Baby!
