CAS: A-1 Skyraider

[-CAL ACO-]

I'd like to see the Douglas A-1 Skyraider featured eventually in the game as a CAS aircraft for the Americans, Aussies and AVRN.
This aircraft debuted during the Korean War and continued strong as a Close Air Support and ground attack aircraft well into the late 60's despite the advent of jet engine Attack aircraft.
It's strong engine gave it ample speed and power for it's CAS/ground attack role, and being a propeller driven plane meant it had a greater loiter ability and greater time on station then jet aircraft, it carried a large bomb and rocket payload, and it's multiple wing mounted cannons gave it the ability to preform very close to ground and precise strafing runs not possible with jet fighters of the era. along with it's excellent maneuverability it was also an easier plane to fly and produce which meant that the US could easily field large numbers of skyraiders for a theatre of war.
