Stripping fanboism from it and looking at it objectively, the F4U-4 is clearly the best prop fighter in AH.

My personal favorites, which are by no means the best in the game but are just the ones I like to fly, are as follows (in alphapetical order):

A6M5b
Ki-84-Ia
Mosquito Mk VI
Spitfire Mk VIII

Its quick, fairly nimble and can hang with the Zekes, La7s and most of the Spits if you fly with careful flap control.

Having only 4 .50s means you realllllllyyy have to hammer away to get a kill.  And with a small ammo loadout, accuracy is important.

Just curious. I dont fly much being blind as a bat and having  reflexes as sharp as a sloth . Why is there not much mention here for the Tempest. ?? Is it because its not really a dog fighter...like I said...just curious

Because the Tempest is not the best prop fighter. Both the F4U-4 and La-7 gobble it up in a 1v1 duel.

The Tempest has great low-level speed and four Hispano cannons. Climb is excellent down low, but drops off to just so-so as it climbs higher. Average to below average ailerons, average turning circle, when light. It depends upon hit and run rather than saddle-up fighting. It's the premier cherry-picker...

However, meeting the F4U-4 or La-7 Co-E and Co-Alt means fleeing for your life or getting shot to pieces in short order.

Naturally, this assumes equal pilots.

Now if we were compiling a list of the top 10 fighters, it would be in that group.

F4U-4 hands-down is the best prop fighter in the game.

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.
