sgt pappy as educated by HTC and the cartoon experts here, getting squashed outside of cartoon land for echoing the same stuff i questioned when i entered this thread ...
i agree that thread was very amusing ...
it was bosco and a f4u this time, much like st pappy on the other board ...
In a low/stall speed turn fight, allowing the Corsair to use its flaps and far better low/stall speed performance and maneuverbility, yes the Corsair would have the edge. Especially if the Corsair pilot is able to sucker the Bf 109 into right hand turns and low/stall speeds or better yet a rolling right handed scissors fight. If the Corsair is fighting against a Bf 109f and initiates a rolling right handed scissors fight, the Bf 109 is going to be dead as its going to have a very tough time rolling to the right at low/stall speeds due to torque. Corsair, while also fighting torque, isn't going to be as disadvantage as the Bf 109f in that maneuver.
If the Bf 109 keeps the angle fight at medium to high speeds, then it will have the edge against the Corsair. More so in the later model Bf 109s. Again, pilot skill is a major factor.
