As a planefag that thing annoys me something fierce.
>Take a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk
>Squash it lengthways
>Slap a giant rotary cannon on the underside (firing through the propellers no less!)
Even putting aside "why the fuck is this elite modern combat unit using a piston-engined propeller plane that became obsolete in the 40s?", assuming the thing could even get off the ground, firing that cannon would shake the airframe apart.
If they wanted to make a propeller plane they should have taken inspiration from the Douglas A-1 Skyraider. It was designed for WW2 but just missed the end of the war, but served admirably as a low-speed CAS bomber in Vietnam.
