The F8F Bearcat, I understand this baby had 4 20mm Cannons and was faster then greased lightning But it looks like this bird never saw any combat.

It NEEDS the I.A.R. 81c, P-39 and the Mig 3.  Nothing more in terms of Fighters.

Very minimal if any.  Would have seen as much combat as an F7F.

MiG-3 for early war, Yak-3 for late.

P-39 for sure.

I'd imagine that we'll have a chance of seeing those once CT (formerly ToD) is finished. I'm assuming CT will eventually run an eastern front, and the ruskie rides are in serious need of an overhaul.. that opens the door for some new toys :aok

F8F saw NO combat in WWII. It wasn't even deployed by the time the war ended.

In fact, no F8Fs in American hands EVER saw combat. By Korea the USN/MC had largely moved to jets (retaining the F4U and AD Skyraider). AFAIK the only F8Fs to actually fly combat sorties were with the French.

Although the "What If" campaign seriously ROCKED in Aces of the Pacific. It was fun squaring off against Kikkas in a P-80. :D One question tho: Where were the Marines?!

Although, if we're going to make a wishlist for wet-dream fighters, put me down for THIS beast. :D

f2g stank


not nearly as fast as earlier models. i think the f4u4 was faster by 50mph+

the engine was HUGE, but it was very heavy, and the net drag from the plane meant that it didnt go any faster. also big problems with torque, it was a 3400 hp engine rofl

430mph at level flight according to most stats I've seen.

The problem with the F2G was that, unlike the early-model Hogs, Goodyear didn't have time to work out the kinks before the war ended and the project was abandoned. However private racers took over the job and the F2G absolutely dominated aircraft like the P-51 (clocked at 470mph level with a 4400 fpm initial rate of climb).

So I'd say it's unfair to judge the Super Hog based on the performance of the prototypes, and one REALLY needs to look at how she handled once her rough edges were smoothed over to get an idea of how the actual production model would have flown.

I'm not saying the final production F2G would've quite performed at that level (I don't know all the modifications made by the racers) but it certainly would have been one wicked machine.

It never ceases to amaze me.  Why some of the players wish to see this WWII Sim, turn into a Korean War Sim.   If you suck a** in a WWII plane, you'll suck worse a** in a Korean War craft.   "Garbage in, Garbage out."
