F8F-1 Standard Characteristics... A genuine monster

You gents need to do a better job reading the data sheets,

You hurt my feelings

My deepest apologies!

Widewing you should know by now that Lusche struggles with graphs and tables.....

If I'm forced to have to deal with f86s and mig15s when all I want to fly is a P40C p47d11 f4u-1 etc, than I might as well do it for free in a game like War Thunder.




Probably could have made myself Clearer, but I made that other post from my phone on the train.

I don't believe that the LWMA will have Korean War jets in it. They would require their own arena....

I can call myself  lucky that my own charts so rarely get checked for errors by other players

So our version would just have 4 x .50 cals.  Hardly a huge perk monster threat.

+1 to add it.

With the concentrated firepower that nose mounted center line guns bring to the table, 4x .50s pack a nice punch.

got it confused with the F7F that had the nose mounted machine guns.

F7F... Another beast.

More firepower than the Mossie, much faster, much better climb and acceleration. If the F7F were to be modeled, it would need to be perked at least as much as the Tempest. 2,000 lb bomb on center line, and two 1,000 lb bombs under the wings. That's 4k added to the stout fire power...

394 mph at SL, climb in WEP approaching 5,000 fpm. Add to that four 20mm and four .50 cal... Potentially more dangerous than the Tempest at the hit and run game....

Our mossie VI is a 1943 plane. If you want to compare F7F it to the 1946 Mossie offspring - try the Hornet.

The Hornet was post war, the F7F-1 and F7F-2N were fully operational before Japan surrendered... IE: NOT post war.

He was saying there would be a new arena, but it would be the death of the current WWII arenas, and I agree. Adding a Korean War arena would, I think, lead to everyone flying in that arena and abandoning the current WWII arenas, which I think would be a very sad ending to what a lot of us love about Aces High.

I don't think the Korean war would be as popular as WWII, as most of the WWII plane set would not be appropriate to Korea and thus not available. For instance, the P-51H would be a great nearly-made-it-into-combat plane to introduce as a highly perked ride in the LWMA, but it was not used in Korea, so putting it in there as a (presumably) un-perked plane would be iffy. Thus the best niche for it and many planes of roughly the same kind (advanced prop planes and very early jets from the end of war till 1950 or so) would be as very perked "what-might-have-been" planes in the LWMA.

It certainly wasn't in AW.
