A Fairey Barracuda would perhaps be a better choise for a torpedo bomber, and a Fairey Firefly as a british naval attack plane.

That's not true at all. I have it on good authority that in June of 1945 a Bearcat on liberty in the Philippines scored with an Army Nurse who "had never done anything like this before"

Bearcats saw very little action but they were used to help escort B-29s when they captured Iwo Jima and Okinowa

All my sources sais World War II was over before the aircraft saw combat service. If you have documentation that supports something else then feel free to post it.

Production of the F8F-1 began just six months after the first flight of the prototype, and the first airplane was delivered to the US Navy's VF-19 squadron on 21 May 1945.

I thought P51 Mustang did that, and B29s didn't capture Iwo Jima, US Marines in LVTs did, anyway, if P51 weren't escorting the B29s wouldn't P47N take over?

I'm not sure of the P47 part, but F8F Bearcats were Naval fighters not Bomber escorts, would they even work at that high an altitude and be able to keep up with a B29?
