This battle was during the 2016 "Japanese Threat" event, featuring Allies versus Axis. In 1939 the Seversky Aircraft Company reorganized into the Republic Aviation Corporation when Alexander Seversky was forced to step down from the company. At the time, one of the projects undergoing research was Project AP-4, which would be prototyped with the designation YP-43, which would lead to the P-43 Lancer aircraft. However with the rapid advances in aircraft technology in Europe, it became clear that the P-43 out classed. The XP-44 Rocket was a early draft design to improve upon the Lancer. It would have replaced the former Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp engine with the more powerful R-2180-A Twin Hornet engine. This would have given the Rocket better high-altitude capabilities. Also the aircraft would have also had six machine guns mounted, versus the four guns on the previous model. Unfortunately as the situation grew in Europe in 1940, it was clear that the new design would already be obsolete. With the plans for the upcoming AP-10 / XP-47, which would lead to the production P-47, already on the table, the decision was made to abandon the XP-44 aircraft. No prototypes were ever built. The existing P-43 Lancer would serve briefly as a stop-gap solution until the P-47 Thunderbolt was ready for service.
