Scanner not working well, but I suggest you to read Lt. Joe D. Robins, pilot of the VBF-8, and the F4U1-C in the book "corsair aces of WWII". I have the book translated into spanish, but I simply refuse to come here and write (again) what we all know: that in 25-April 1945 the hispanos on the Chog still were freezing over 15000 feet, and that the gun reliability was simply abysmal.
Then Quit ! Oh wait... you done that about 6 times already. But each time you come back within the week.
And now your too scared to even fly under your own name. Be a man. If your going to spout consistent misinformation and pure crap (which you feel is your right), at least be man enough to stand up and take whatever repercussions it causes. Not hiding and skulking around under some other assumed name.
Never thought I'd say this, verm. But you are an idiot, plain and simple. I left AH ONCE -ONE time-, for nearly a month. And I came under a new handle. You all placed bets on that RAM would last 20 minutes in MA without yelling. Well you missed. You missed by A LOT.
I dont have the need to fly under my ex-handle. First of all because I know of the "hunting groups" formed on me in hte MA, second because I pay for having fun, and there is enough annoying things in the MA to have to face a bunch of nazi guys that can't stand someone who wont allow them to shut him up.
Lastly, if you **REALLY** think that the hispanos were SO magnificent guns that allowed to fire 200 rpg non-stop without melting the breech, nor jamming, nor stopping the plane dead in the air, then explain me why the standard 20mm gun after the war was based on a german desing and not the SUperDuperHispano one.
The Mauser (and ShVak's) are plenty deadly if you get them on target. No, they're not as accurate at range as the Hispanos. But thats the way it should be.Oh yea, and 50 cals are plenty deadly if you put a 2 second burst on target. Go to hell, Verm, we are talking about 1-2 ping FATAL DAMAGE here.
But continuously whinning about them, in the manner you do, doesn't help the matter one bit.
Of course. What should I do?. See how one ping kills repeatedly my engine and shut up? whatever.
Verm, I really thought you had some more decency. Anyone who resorts to personal attacks to refute and discredite (sp?) someone's opinions is a nazi in my book.
I have nothing more to say to you.

Fact is: in WWII Hispanos were known for:
1-Jamming
2-Overheating in sustained bursts
3-Freezing over 15000 feet
and for:
1-high muzzle vel.
2-Heavy projectile with good ballistics.
I simply think that the two latter things are "TOO" well represented in AH, while the 3 former ARE NOT EVEN SHOWN HERE.
So, get rid of the F4U1-c or give us a REALISTIC hispano, please.
