Update F4U-1A Ords Please

[Ack-Ack]

I gotta cry foul on that one...

I been bombing in AH since waaaay the hell back, and never have I ever had to deal with wind in the MAs.

then you didn't play AH as far back as you think you did, Saxman is correct about the wind layer around 16k.

Actually, it was Charles Lindburgh who showed that it was possible to load the 2000lber plus another 2000lbs of ordnace on the Corsair. He actually flew it into combat...4000lbs of ordnance on the F4U. I don't know what the exact loadout was off the top of my head, but the centerline held a 2000lber.

He also showed Corsair and P-38 pilots how to wring the best possible speed, distance and fuel conservation out of their aircraft.

Can you give a time frame for this?

I used to do tons of 25k lancaster HQ runs with AKNimitz and never ran into wind, but for a long time I never went very high before that.

Just because it could be carried doesn't mean it ever was.

Seen the P-38 pics with a torp?  Or the Fw190?

B-26 carried torps externally, once.

Anything else?

It was around when I started playing around tour 8.

Cousins.

What negative?  I said it was never used.  That's negative?
