Curtiss P-63 Badger
Entering production in late 1944, the P-63 Badger was meant to combine the firepower of the P-47 Thunderbolt with the speed and maneuverability of the P-51 Mustang. Though it was originally designed as an attack fighter/fighter bomber, the late-stage prototype got a redesign in October of 1944 , and turned out to be an excellent air-to-air fighter, despite its size. with a top speed of roughly 475 MPH, the P-63 Badger has twin wing pods that house ammo for the 35mm cannons mounted on the wings. Along with the cannons comes two .50 Caliber gear-synchronized machine guns in the front, rocket tubes, and bombs, The badger is sure to dominate any foe that is unlucky enough to stumble across it, whether in the air or on the ground.
