I will scan and post F4U-1 and F4U-4 loadout options from a weight and balance sheet I have.

Take a look in the A/C and Vehicles section for my new scans.

so it's true for that particular plane, but what about the rest of WWII's fighter planes?

Even without researching it ... if it was a common practice for one country/fighter would probability fall on the side of it being an exclusive practice or a widespread one? I'll take widespread for now and see if my number comes up. :D

I can say that in fleet operations where the posiblity of attack existed at any time it would be common practice to have A/C armed and ready to scramble.

The same I would imagine would apply to any A/C in a forward area.

I can't say with Spits and 109's because they didn't carry much fuel or ammo to begin with.

I can believe it with proper causes, but I'm curious of actual proof across the planeset.
