Anybody saying the F4u isn't one of the most manuverable planes in the game doesn't fly enough of the 80-100 planes we have in this game.
Don't bother insulting me or flamebaiting with what you think are witty quips (they are not, FYI).
Expressing the data in "ZSCORE" is dishonest. The turn radius is tighter on a F4u-1 with full flaps than it is even on a spit9 with full flaps.

Add to that the fact the F4u can drop from 450mph down to stall speed in less than 10 seconds with gear and flaps, forcing any overshoot, allowing instant drop to best turn rate against any thing that needs more time to slow down, etc.
You few commenting about me have blinders on about the capabilities of the corsairs. It is top 5 in terms of ease of use and ability to outmanuver other planes.
Naturally the trick is to get REALLY good you have to put the time in. But the same could be said for P-51s, Spitfires, 109s, etc, just as readily.
EDIT: It is also widely considered to be modeled inaccurately with regards to torque and stability. It is far far far too easy to fly compared to the real thing.
