When u the things that makes the f4u1d feel slow is the fact that theres in wind in m/a. a 10mph breeze makes it feel like a animal and the f4u4 is just retarded. THere is WIND in the real word, with wind u could prob take off with a fully loaded corsair(turn the cv into the wind like ur supposed to). Corsair kinda heavy, but she cant be that sluggish. I fought a f4u4 wit my f4u1d today, he was in trouble but then has friend in a 205 came around and i had to get off him. F4u4 is great but its not a point and click spit16, u have to handle with experience and care(i have been into the corsair hardcore for 2 months now and have been very successful, but i still need alot more time). I noe the suggestion to add weather has been posted before but i feel we need it, this game really is startin to feel more and more like a arcade game and less like a sim.
I noe the f4u4 out turns 51d but at high speeds there either even or 51d does better. And for the most part both of these planes r hot rods, u want to be fast in them. THe f4u4 isnt really the plane of choice to do tnb fightin. F4U4 is more agile and a touch faster then 51d but mustang can hang with the f4u4. Not much seperates them. The only bad thing about unperkin the f4u4 would be that f4u1d would be out of a job.
I dont like the p47n, it isnt much of a upgrade. Yes alot more fuel but thats it, it goes faster yes, but it does this half way to the moon at 30k, then then u have to burn out all ur wep to get it. u want a solid high alt speed demon i say 51d. The 47n doesnt have dive flaps, and thats the real reason i dont fly it. when i throw that nose down and dive bomb those dive flaps keep me in control.
