You'd lose all the things we take for granted in the -5 and get:
-Slower rate of roll (most speeds) due to lack of aileron tabs
-Unmodified windscreen
-A more fragile tail section
-Reduced cockpit armor
-A-G ord reduced/eliminated.
-Original cowling (4mph slower than the -5)
This would be offset by: Cooler skins, a slightly better six view (!!!!) higher ENY and the satisfaction of knowing that Greebo is accumulating perk points he may never use faster than ever before! :D
Preferably a late -3 model with the R-2800-10W engine (WEP)

When was -3 in action and -5 in action?

Agreed, except for this point:
Preferably a late -3 model with the R-2800-10W engine (WEP)
It would be better to have the earlier engine so as to better differentiate it from the F6F-5.

I'd have thought if HTC were likely to introduce it, they would not have let me skin F6F-3 schemes on the F6F-5. The F6F-3 entered service in Feb 43, the F6F-5 in mid 44.

Although first combat was not until September.

First F6F kill was September 1, a Kawanishi H8K flying boat was shot down by Richard Loesch of VF-6.

Ah, unfortunately this makes sense... I still would still appreciate a marginally better 6 view. :pray
