Empty bombers handle very good at low speeds.

landing most bombers on the cvs are easy with full flaps and outside views

arado's are a bit tuff along with 262's but hey, what's life without callenges.

hahaha I didn't know there is a separate key to release the tailhook...that's why it would never catch on the wires

Just engage full flaps from the beginning of take off.

It takes a bit of effort to control that heavy hog after leaving the deck, but as long as that friggin' torque doesn't knock you around in your yaw axis, if it's stable, then you'll be able to do it.

2K bombs+rockets+100% fuel CV take-off without using 'special methods', is possible with all three Corsairs.

I think about one out of every ten or twenty take-offs I ditch a single Corsair.. a slip of concentration and the yaw axis goes crazy... *splash!*
