Title: my third attempt.....
Post by: Wildcat1 on February 06, 2011, 08:45:46 PM: third time's a charm, eh?

i think that since we are getting the updated zeke, we need an updated wildcat as well. both F4F-4 and FM-2.

also, the FM-2 was able to carry 250-lbs. bombs, which they used frequently when they were called upon for the CAS roll.

Why is that?

it was slower and less manuverable than the -3, and with the addition of 2 extra guns, ammunition was reduced from 450 rds./gun to 240 rds./gun. needless to say they didn't like that.

That's weird a later model is slower. Nice to know!
