The most significant word in the Jester's post is "former."
1: Nobody has tried to talk drm into sticking with the F4U other than one of his new recruits.
2: Jester ... who pulled
your former blueplaner come luftweenie and now buffdweeb string?
3: The F6F is a fine ride and a killer. It doesn't take as much discipline as the F4U and it has plenty of speed,climb maneuverability and punch. And it's tons easier to take off the deck of a CV.
See? My heartiest recommendations.
But Jester ... if you want to learn some aggressive F4U tactics, there's more than one VF-17 pilot willing to accomodate you, I'm sure (self included).
