      Don’t get me wrong, nearly every fighter plane looks cool. But, it’s just different varieties of cool. Like, a lot of the US planes look Lamborghini-cool, with hard surfaces and so on. The Russian / Soviet planes just look more sculpted.

      And, if the rule of cool doesn’t apply, then why did P-40 fighter planes have shark’s mouths?

        Because Americans are kinda like W40k orcs and think painting something makes it stronger, although it actually works for the orcs.
