You could just fly an F4F at 3/4 throttle and chop back your scaling on your joystick...

Brewster was a "Hi-Tec" fighter at  itīs own era...

Just like F/A 18 would be nowadays...

The value of that thing then...was not inconsequential

The question is about the doctrine:

The best scoring finnish fighter aces worship the Brewster...

Vice versa...US Navy thought, the Brewster was a weak and poor, and not suitable for US.Navy use for intercepting...

:D


Things and needs are so different...

Depends.  If we get the navy version with the (IIRC) extra armor, heavier landing gear and tail hook, the Hurri will eat it alive.

The "stripped down" version the Finns received, on the other hand, will give you a run for your money for sure.

-- too lazy to look up the exact quote, but Boyington once remarked that the Brewster could turn inside of a phone booth -- but then the Navy got a hold of it and messed it all up (armor, arresting gear, etc.).

This is probably the biggest area of "intrique" for alot of us. The F2A (Buffalo) P-39 and others (especially the P-47) were all "field modified" rather significantly. Those in "design" often "broke" perfectly good planes that had to be "fixed" by those who lived or died in them.....

Listen we can have both the F2A3, and the export 233 model.

I want to defend Midway with the 23 F2A3's, and beat the Russians out of the sky with the Brewster 233.
