Harfark Corps present:

F3A SkyBull

Design

F3A SkyBull followed the same principle as P-47 Thunderbolt: a fighter bomber with the capability to resist battle damage and remain airworthy. With that in mind, we decide to up the versatility to carrier-capable and dive-bombing capability.
SkyBull is unusually thicc. It ain't the slimmest or most aerodynamic. But it do the job done

• Always deploy flaps when takeoff. You need that propeller to fly
• Above 6000m, the supercharger will be turned on or you could switch manually with activate6. The effect will be more visible in <6000 which it maintains speed where before it struggles to hit 600kmh on that altitude
• To land on USS Beast:
  
  
  
  1. Approach with low speed (<200 kph / 124mph)
  
  
  2. Deploy airbrakes, hook, and half flaps
  
  
  3. When hit the deck, maintain the pitch, kill the throttle, no braking, let he hook do its thing
