It's Republic P-43 Lancer. In US air force from 06/41 - 12/43 and China air force from 01/42 - 12/43. So many people I made roster with more wide dates that any wish use it plane in any other dates in game.
R-43 - it's russian war designation US plane and designation unit in game.
All was made 273 planes. In US not place in war so was in continental US Air Force, but in China plane war with Japan planes and all planes was down before 12/43.
Manufacturing planes ceased in 1942 year.

The P-43 didn't see much service period. A handful made it to China (very far from water):



If there were more than a dozen in coastal areas where any submarine might ever see them during the entire war I'd be surprised.

They'd be better off in the roster as Italian Re 2000s which are somewhat similar looking planes. (the Re 2000 was based upon the P-43's predecessor, the P-35)
