Would a turbine powered A-1 fulfill any those needs?
From the ground persons view, quick get in close and support me seems like something might be needed.
There a lot of different battleground scenarios out there and I doubt anything in the inventory is "best" for them all!
Of course I always look from the "me on the ground looking for some assistance" view!
They tried back in the 50's with the
A2D Skyshark, but had trouble with the turboprop engine technology of the time. By the time the technology caught up interest in the program had vanished.
