I even performed this in the main arena,sometimes to my own death as I was picked by another boggie,but most times even when out numbered 3-4 to 1 .
The boggies would overshoot and I could ussually manage to achieve 1-2 victories if not shoot down all 3-4 in one set up.I do realise that not all pilots are the same calibre, so some of them were noobes some a little more advanced.
I still managed my 2.9-1 k/d although not my ussual total kills for the tour.
I will normally average around 1000+ kills,however I've not been able to fly quiet as much this tourbecause of my sons illness and work.
As to the realism of this plane,I have no idea what it did in real life,but if I may quote and excerp out of one of my books regarding the f4u.
This is out of the book:"FIGHTING AIRCRAFT OF WWII" by Salamander publishing
page 146"Designed by Rex Beisel and Igor Sikorsky,the inverted gull wing Corsair was one of the greatest combat aircraft in history.Planned to use the most powerful engine biggest propeller ever fitted to a fighter,the prototype was the first US warplane to exceed 400mph and out performed all other American aircraft.Action with land-based Marine squadrons began in the Solomans in Feburary 1943; from then on the Corsair swiftly gained air suprmrcy over the previously untroubled Japanese"
The intent of my original post was not to show the Corsair to be the dominent
main arena ride ,but merely my take on what I've come to consider a very good aircraft.
