Having both the F4U-1A and the F4U-1D nullifies that argument.

In addition to Arlo's comments on ordinance, the 1A is also faster at altitude (by as much as 10-15mph depending on altitude), lighter, and carries more fuel.
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.

The F6F-3 has different canopy glass in front and back, as well as not having rocket rails.  Also didn't have WEP, IIRC.  Akin to the P-38G vs P-38J.

In AH, the 1A and 1D performance is very close. 

No reason not to have the F6F-3, considering it served in numbers and so many other planes in game with multiple variants.  If not, at least give us the option for the rear windows, like the B-25C glass choices.

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I wouldn't mind the F6F-3(Coral blasted light blue like the -1 corsair), mabye make the F6F-5 a late war fighter.

Most, if not all of the hellcats at the Battle of the Philippine Sea were -3 models.  From what I read, the -3 climbs better, and has a slightly better top speed than the -5.  The way I see it is they did what they did with the corsair.  They took a sports car and turned it into a really fast dump truck.
