Looks like a WWII Spit Fighter except it has modern weapon mounts and electronics.

It can be outfitted to fire nearly anything it can take off with.

Good close support plane, but drones still are better and you can get them cheaper.

Only thing this has on a drone is the flexible weapons packages it can use.

Actually, the nose is painted like a P40 of the Flying Tigers fame of China in WWII and the body(with the hump behind the cockpit)looks more like a hurricane than a SpitFire.

Being a turpo prop I am sure the performance is a little better than any WWII aircraft, except in WWII prop planes had pretty much reached the pinnacle of their performance, which is limited by prop speed rather than engine power.
