A prewar fighter, it was designed with speed and climb in mind, resulting in an aircraft that handled like an interceptor. These small and speedy aircraft were used in the USAAC from the late 30’s to the first few months of war until they were retired due to their increasing obsolescence. The plane was a sales success and was one of the best bomber interceptors in the first months of the Pacific War.
This is another remake, this time of an American fighter I made more than a year ago. I've certainly improved... haven't I?
I'm quite happy with this remake. It's larger and uses somewhat better looking gear, but other than that, I kept most of the features of the original design. This one now has four M2/AN .30-equivalent guns instead of the original default one and various cosmetic details I usually add to planes now. It's kind of similar to how the original flew, but I made it a tad turny-er. Hopefully it's a good enough remake. Feel free to suggest any other planes you would like me to remake!
Tip: Don't land too hard, that's all.
VTOL to use flaps.

Should I publish the Argentine one? I think it's probably worth it given the changes I made to it.
@Ninjakolabeyt It was one of the influences I had for the original design.
