Easymo I had one film of it, sent it to Hblair, he may have it still. As I changed HD a couple of weeks ago I dont have it any longer.
I didnt want him to post it here because it was my "rant-all-time" phase and Has a lot of BS on the radio buffer (mostly mine
).
If he has it ,he can send it to you. It is quite long, and shows me fighting a F4UC. I had 2 snapshots on him,hits in both, both less than 150 yds with my 4x20mm Fw190. He lost the rudder...and nothing else.
He got one ping later on me(confirmed by the guy, only one flash in his FE). He make my engine pray for more oil as he was leaking all it had
. With one shot at 300yds (in his FE, because in mine he was 400yds and I was faster) when I had at least 5 flashes on him (maybe more I cant recall it well) at 100-150 yds. Compare the results:
(5-6 flashes at 100-150yds) rudder gone<--->(one flash at 300-350yds)engine killed.
I had 2 or 3 films more like that...the kind of one ping while avoiding HO,results: tail gone...wing gone...engine quit,etc. But as I said I changed HD and I lost all films
. I hope hblair can send the one I said before to you.
One ping from a F4U1-C is structural damage assured. I dont need any TA tests, I tested it by myself....in my skin, to be truth.
(OOOPS I OPENED MY MOUTH AGAIN)
