Thanks for all the tips. I flew in the FSO and found it to be very capable if handled correctly.
My totals for the FSO was 1 ship destroyed and 2 kills (Corsairs).
I dove on a cruiser from about 11k in almost a 80 degree dive, throttle to zero and kicking rudder all the way down to about 2k for the pull out. Man can this thing dive! As I pickled my bombs, I was just starting to compress. I pulled out of it using all the trim I could get.
After sinking the ship, me and 5 squadies headed back and climbed to about 15K. On the way back, we caught some F4s low and trying to make their way back to their non-existent CV group
Well, there were about 8 of them so we thought we would give them a whirl. Well, we were holding our own (that's when I shot down my two kills) when out of no where another whole squadron of Corsairs showed up. Well, out of E and almost out of ammo, they made quick work of the 4 guys that were left.
All in all, I thought it was a capable plane as long as you flew it right.
Thanks all!
