The F4F stands a remodel to.

For that matter, we could use the F4F-3 as a separate aircraft entirely. It actually had a noticeable performance difference from the -4 (the -3 had longer range, was lighter, climbed better, and MAY have been a few mph faster. The -4's only improvements were the extra pair of guns and folding wings).
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.

<hijack>
Apart from the AKs being mean, cruel, evil, nasty, organized, well-coordinated, polite, skillful people (Nimitz was the worst, of course) where does one find the AK historical gun sight package?

I don't know if the AK's package has been updated yet, but Saxman recently made a properly calibrated MK VIII sight for the new version.
Saxman's Mk.VIII Gunsight Package is tested in game and is now available for download here!

I think Dogg said he's still in the process of updating the AK package. He's welcome to include my Mk.VIII since it's already done. Less work for him. :D
