Hey fellas is there a chance of getting the F4U available from CVs?

Would kinda like an answer on this also from the CT Team. As our squad plans to use mixed flights of Hellcats and Corsairs if we can get them of the CV's.

Waiting for an answer.

The current setup has F4U's available at all the airfields. F6F's are available only from the CV's. With the closeness of the CV's to other friendly bases most of the time, it should be pretty easy to hook up a flight of hellcats from a CV with a flight of Corsairs from a nearby land base for a mission.

In other words, we'll probably keep the current setup as it is now. Hope this doesn't keep your squadron from giving it a try though.

Well Hblair we are a dedicated CT Arena squadron, so I guess we'll be here alright. It's getting to be a bit of a smoker with us though, last week we had a Phillipene set-up with no F4Us on CVs, but the Seafire was there.
We're going to be in the CT, we'll fly where needed when there are no CVs in the setup, but it would be nice when there are USN CV's to be able to get all USN/USMC aircraft from them.
