They'd be interesting "what-if" planes, like the CW-21 and I'd certainly fly them if someone modeled them, but realistically they saw almost no combat service and proved themselves to be "less than outstanding" designs.

The Chinese used a few P-43s to no real effect, the P-35 saw limited use in the defense of the Philippines in 1941/early 1942, but that was it. In the game, they'd mostly serve as moving targets for Zeroes and Oscars.
