Maybe turning the groundhog into a newt will improve it's rate of climb and ceiling?

Well aren't newts amphibious? That means the navy could also consider the fighter to end all fighters...

Yup...I think I'm on to something here. A newt has smaller frontal area so less form drag, plus replacing all that draggy fur with a slippery skin will further improve performance. Granted, the newt's smaller overall size will limit load carrying capacity so we may need to remove the wing guns....but they aren't really needed anyway.

Wait, if it floats isn't it a witch? What is the climb rate and ceiling of a witch?

Oh, so now you are bringing rabbits into the mix... Well they do have tremendous rates of production, perhaps they could overwhelm with quantity.

Rabbits of the large variety would be far more worthy in armed confrontation than a ground hog.
One must always keep in mind that the rabbit is not to be taken lightly.

They have very sharp teeth, so we could probably remove the front armor and move the radio forward...

Nay, preserve the front armour as it is most nessecary.
Throw the radio at it and run away.

Ah yes, the Brave Sir Robin strategy.

Yeah and verily, for tis the season of silliness. Let the thread be silly, for silliness be eth the end all, and ................ Oh, hello Nurse !
a great idea, however there are some flaws. The production rate of the rabbits would be such that you could supply more rabbits to our lend lease partners to assist in fighting. However, when the rabbits were entering the 'field of battle' , if they saw any female rabbits, they would remember their favorite slogan of "make love, not war" and would desert the field of battle at a most inopportune time. It would not matter if you removed the armor, IFF, radios and wing guns, if they were 'attacking' in the other direction .

Would these rabbits be the long-tailed or bob-tailed version ?
