They were in service before the war ended and were on carriers heading to Japan when they tossed in the towel. Too late for combat, but not too late for squadron service. Another two weeks and they would have been flying combat patrols.

Two weeks?

This has a familiar ring to it:

But wasn't it "Combat Tour" instead of a new fighter?

^^^ What he said. F4U-1's a monster when flown on the edge. The -4 is a monster, period.

If they adjusted the FM to cause the Corsairs to fly closer to RW, I'd still fly them. I only hope they's make an appropriate ENY / perk value adjustment, as well.

My OPINION

(in the order in wich I prefer them)

F4U-4
4U-1D
F6F-5
F4U-1
FM2
F4F-4
F4U-1A
F4U-1C

Like I said, that just my Opinion

Ace8765 · « **Reply #39 on:** July 04, 2007, 03:25:55 PM »

i think the F4F or the F4U-4 is the best navel fighter
F4F has good balance of speed, firepower and muneverability

Saxman · « **Reply #40 on:** July 04, 2007, 03:38:26 PM »

What are "speed" and "F4F" doing in the same sentence?

FM-2... I love using her to turn the tables on Spit drivers who think they can outturn anything with a star-and-bar on it.

That’s what makes the FM-2 so much fun. You’d be surprised how many people will actually commit to a sustained turn fight with an FM-2 when they are flying a Spit or an La-7.

F6F IMHO
