No, no hard feelings. I understand now. I would personally perfer a XP-67 refitted Merlins or Allisons and jets. It's talked at these places.

It says that the estimated SL speed should have been in excess of 500mph. That means it could have probably kept with or shot past Me 262's in flight and by the time it got to the P-67A, it should have been able to match it's maneuverability with that of the P-51 after having made the changes from original flight tests which would have probably included adding a yaw damper and having better engines installed. It would have also had a range that would have allowed it to escort B-17's and B-29's deep into Germany or Japan. Plus, it would have had a more realistic selection of guns in the production model like 6 or 8x.50cal machine guns as opposed to the suggested 6x37mm cannons, 12x.50cal machine guns, or 8x.60cal machine guns suggested for ground attack. Oh yeah, it would look awesome too.
