The republic xp-72 is what happens when republic has a few spare R-4360s laying around and decides to attach a p47 to them.
Stats/Armament
Speed: 490mph at 25,000 ft (super charger bypassed theoretical speed is somewhere between 505 to 550 mph)
Climb rate: 88ft/s
Turn time: unknown but likely similar to a p47 somewhere in the 20 to 30 second ballpark
Proposed Armament:
6x 50.cal machine guns 1602 rounds
2x AN-M65A1 1000lb bombs
Last thing we need is more HE power to BR 5 USA.
Americas HE power is already heavily nerfed planes like the p47 carry extremely light loadouts
Okay and? Doesn’t make it shit when like, all 99.99% other airplanes in the game have worse loadouts than P-47 now does it.
Youve prove my point most of americas planes should have way more ordinance on them but they don’t
Proven what? What’s your point even? Let’s adds more HE power by adding more HE spamming airplanes for USA BR5 because you just want it and don’t give a F for game balance? What a nice “pOiNt” you have there 
Why should they ? They already outclass EVERYTHING the other factions have
That all american cas is cucked to begin with so complaining about the level of he “spam” we have already is laughable
Yea ur just straight up delulu there is no other way tbh
Average loadout for a p47 was like 3 500 lbs bombs and hvars our p47 is cucked
We don’t need planes dropping 3,500 lbs of bombs every 30-40 seconds.
We shouldn’t be encouraging cheap dopamine for one player in exchange of ruining the gameplay for 8-10 players. Some asymmetry makes sense and is fine within reason, but current HE spam at BR 5 is lunacy, ESPECIALLY for USA BR 5 CAS.
3 x 500 not 3500 slakr
Oh, I see.
Still, nerfed historical payloads for USA CAS is a good thing for the game. There’s a reason for it.
Clearly not enough. We need more HVAR spam everywhere.
Well i also hate when people complain about the level we have which i now you have ive seen your content and from a historical perspective it irks me because i kniw what these planes are capable of and when i see them underperforming its just eh
Maybe if they ever added a mode that purely had bots as infantry, it could be done.
But still, HE should be viable, but not oppressive.
Boom boom boom 
I hope I never reach this level of delusion
what’s your asking for is a lopsided balance on one side that can repeatedly stomp the other factions with planes. Absolutely not. We’ve already had numerous people explain why this isn’t a good idea to include even more CAS within the allies tree. Yes Americans strongest aspect is their planes, just like the Germans are their tanks, and the Soviets are their SMGs and assault weaponry. But even those have their limits And time delays to use those other options. With this we’re going to get plain cycler after plain cycler, and then you’re going to have deadlock matches where the Americans win 100% of the time in br5 because they’re repeatedly dropping high ordinance directly over spawns of the enemy. Basically you’re asking for more toxicity within this game that’s not something I can stand by. I’m fine with more equipment being added, especially stuff that’s iconic or missing, But we don’t need things that are going to allow curb stop repeatedly because other factions have no counter or the cyclers are major sweats that are stacking together. I’ve seen plenty of matches where there is a four stack that uses nothing but plane cycling, it is incredibly frustrating especially when your team can’t even spawn. Situations like that usually result in a match being over within 2 to 3 minutes, that is not enough time for the enemy team to even bother defending themselves let alone spawn and have a chance at playing the objective.
yes to the airplane…
no to the payload.
