You flew Prowlers? Where at and what squadron? I used to work on them. They were the fastest NON-AFTERBURNING plane in the airwing
DAMN Johnny, that was fast. Your turn
The P-40 was slower than it's European counterparts at the altitude they normally fought at(20,000+ feet) due to the single stage supercharger on its Allison engine. It also couldn't turn with an A6M(but then again, no allied fighter in the war could) which was optimized for combat below 15,000 feet. It was also the only prewar land based monoplane, other than the British Spits and Canes to not be armed with a 20mm or larger cannon. When used at lower altitudes, it was an equal to the ME-109 as shown over the Med in 1942
