F4U4B did not see service in WW2. IIRC Hitech did model the 4B in Warbrids until this info came out.

A few items.

1. I am sure that two Tiny tims was the limit.
2. All F4U-4's built were built and delivered in 1944 or 1945 at the latest including all F4U-4B/C's. The only question is did they see combat.
3. The F4U-4B/C had the M3 20mil like the Tempest. Even more powerful than the C-Hog.

I ain't too sure about that, I just found it at some F4U Data site and I was pretty sure that they can carry 3 Tiny Tim Rockets.

And F4UDOA, Since I been researching about F4U-4B and there is no confirmed that they have see WWII, I ain't kidding and many people said that just only F4U-4.

Americas 100,000's lists only 9 kills for all F4U-4's for the war, and that they only saw action from Airfields at(On) Okinawa at the very end of the Battle for Okinawa.
