Over the years, I have seen many F4U drivers complain about the views from their favorite plane. They don't know how good they have it.
Let's set the record straight, shall we?
All of these screenshots were taken in the Late War Arena, at the same field and on the same runway. These views are all easily duplicated with the arrow keys and the pgup/pgdown keys on your keyboard. Set up your view, hold and hit F10 key to save the view.
Six views:1A six:
-1 six:
F6 six:
Both of the Corsairs have a full rear view to at least one side, depending if you set the view to favor right or left side. The Hellcat's tail has a huge blind spot, especially the low six. Adjusting the Hellcat's six view to favor one side like in the Corsair, results in an even worse view than having it centered.

This is the only view that puts the Hellcat even with the Corsair, arguably superior, due to no bars off to the side.
Back left views:

This is where the Corsair's views absolutely trounce the Hellcat's. Not even a contest here. The F6 pilot cannot see his v-stab at all.
Back right views:1a back right:
-1 back right:
F6 back right:
Same as back left.
As a Corsair driver, you should use the back left/right views and ignore the straight back view to get rear views as good as almost every plane in the game.
And stop crying.
