P-53

929 IssaIwan  6.1 years ago

A simple turn fighter who's blueprints were scrapped during WWII because the wings could be easily destroyed by cannons and flaks, giving them little chance against Bf-109s and could not be bomber escorts. They saw much service after the war as anti-pirate aircraft, who could not outturn them. Despite their primitive design, they were much more effective than the P-65. Many were used, and were typically flown by French squadron leaders. It is armed with 6x 37mm M4 cannons.
