Airacobra

Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

So, this plane seems to be extremely useless free kill plane for the axis. Any use for these at all?

Ground attack \ support, Naval interdiction, I've even found it to work ok as a low altitude fighter or for intercepting un-escorted bombers around Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica.

Its not great, but the P-40 isn't anything to write home about either in fighter vs fighter combat - that's what your Spitfires and Mustangs are for.

You can use it as it was used historically - a stopgap ground attack aircraft in Sicily and Italy and interceptor in your rear-area Mediterranean bases (which can be reached by Axis naval patrol aircraft). Essentially, something to use in the Mediterranean while waiting for P-38s, P-47s, and P-51s to arrive.
