Hellcat vs Corsair - views

[Slade]

Those match up pretty close with the AH Hellcat.  You wouldn't happen to have similar pics from a real Corsair, perchance?  Would love to see how it compares to our cartoon version.

Thanks sir.  No sorry they dont have an F4u there.

I had these taken when the last update was done on the F6 and visibility "seemed" inhibited.  I wanted to know what the difference between RL F6 and the AH F6.  So you can see AH did a really good job on aligning the F6 rear views to the actual WWII RL view! 

Kudos to AH for their level of detail! 


EDIT: I do have access to an F4f Wildcat if you guys want me to get pix of the views on this.  My hunch is though that AH nailed it there too.

I saw an XF4U-4 there. It's the third one built. It's still on the website.    XF4U-4

Nice! Lets see if we can get them to take the shots.

I did not see it when I was there.  BTW, I had family members that actually worked there during WWII.  They had many stories from those days.

the f6 view restrictions are one of the few planes in ah with almost accurate rear view limitations... you simply can not see whats back there behind the bulkhead.

the way AH allows you to put your point of view up against the instrument panel in most virtual cockpits is not what I would call realistic.

the sense of claustrophobia and scale of the cockpit is lost and the view restrictions minimized artificially.
