In order to learn ACM you'll want to spend a lot of time flying 1v1. You can do this in the DA but if you use the TA you won't be interrupted by parts falling off of your airplane.
Start off by fighting the same aircraft you're flying so that aircraft differences don't complicate the fight. Be sure to have your head positions set up properly to get the most out of the limited rear views in the F4U and F6F. Film your fights to help you understand what happened and also to watch the fight from your opponent's aircraft so that you see how unforced reversals etc make the fight easier for them.
