Country: | I'd take an MC-205 over an Anton but nothing over a Dora (maybe a Ta-152 or Spitfire but nothing else)

Country:  | No, it goes B-29, B-1, Z.1007.
Id have a Fiat G.56 over anything...Im sure itd give a Dora a run for its money...
Or even an SAI 403. Lightweight, small engine, heavy armament, immense performance.
