Title: F4U-4C?!?
Post by: angelsandair on April 16, 2008, 12:50:54 AM
I saw a pic of one, anyone know the specifics of it? It looked like 2 20mms on each wing. But the F2G corsair has the same thing, but they are 2 .50s.  :aok

4C was armed with 4x20mm cannon, as was the 4B.

Neither of which saw combat in WWII, if memory serves.

Nope. None saw any combat in WWII.

Imagine the horror if they did.

Seem to remember there was a post war version built as the ultimate ground attack corsair...the AU-1??

Heavily armored, 10 pylons instead of 8, monstrous carry capacity, and of course 4x 20mm cannons. And once you drop the load, you're in a Corsair instead of an A20 or something!

oh, it looked like the F2g the way the cannons were. Instead of 4 20mms, I thought they were 4 .50s.

I just saw a pic on a website. I was pretty sure they didnt see service though.

Also known as F4U-6. Heavily armored, ultimate mud-mover with a 4000lb payload. :O Single-stage supercharger, so only suited for low altitude. Not terribly fast.

AU-1 only had a top speed on the 200s.

carrier based 262  :D  :O fastest CV planes with 20's?
Title: Re: F4U-4C?!?
Post by: angelsandair on May 25, 2008, 05:11:57 PM
Do you mean prop planes? Or just fastest overall? If just overall, I would say the F4, (With 20mm pods) or the F14, if prop driven planes, then F4U-4 (a, b, or c) or the Hawker Seafury.  :aok

Newer technology. F14 is sexier than the F22, I know that much.

Raptor > Eagle > Tomcat

And the Eagle isn't far behind the Raptor either.

Okay, I'll vote for the PTO enthusiasts to have a four-cannon F4U-4 if they'll vote for me to have a P-47M...

...and if we do THAT sort of thing, we WILL have F-22s in AHII before long.  :devil

F4U-4Cs were only in Korea, same with F4U-4Bs....  :P


(still in for the P-47M though.)  :D

That's like saying your mom is sexier than your girlfriend.

It's just wrong.
