Fix the Corsair gunsights

Well, figured I'd go ahead and post it in the wish list, as it certainly is a wish I have. See thread from Aircraft/Vehicles:

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Here's some more Corsair wishes:

Allow a half ammo loadout option, per actual Navy procedure manuals cited in previous discussions.

Also, per the same manuals, it's shown that the F4U-1D could also carry ordinance on the centerline rack in addition to the two wing pylons and rocket stubs, and that the aircraft had loads of 3xbombs and 8xHVAR specified.

Tiny Tim rockets!!!

Many F4U-1As in US service were land-based, and either had their arrestor gear or wing folding mechanisms removed at the field or were delivered without them installed at all. Allow an option in the hangar to fly a "land based" Corsair ONLY at land bases. 500lbs may not seem like much, but from watching E6B it actually makes quite a difference in performance. If anything, make it a perk option once perked ordinance is instated.
