Lovely selection on carriers. Many times you'll see guys launch them from land even.
The Hellcat is a winner pure and simple. Just a great all around set of attributes. The Corsairs are oh so capable. Far more capable then most who fly them ever realize. Maybe get with a top corsair ace for some training. The Seafire is a fine airplane. The FM2 is a top perk farmer. The wild cat is better then most think, and, has the 6 0.50 option. The zero is the top turn fighter in the game.
But I'd say the HellCat and Corsair are the top CV performers in the game. The F4U-4 is probably the top propeller fighter in the game.
I really dont feel very limited when launching from CVs, probably 90% of my CV time is in HellCats and Corsairs. most of all Hellkittys. Both airplanes sustain a dive, and roll, as good or better as anything in the game. The Corsair is a remarkable BnZ'er.
