No it isnt. AH has the export model of the F2A-1 (Model 239). There was a ban in US on exporting engines designated for the military and thus Model 239 was equipped with R-1820G5, a civillian model of the Cyclone 9.

950hp Wright R-1820-G5
how did you get to 1000hp in your chart... rounding? Or Finnish improvements?

The rule of thumb (from what I'm told) is all planes in the game are configured as they left the factory. 
No field mods allowed, except for that one plane of course.

No rounding. It produces 1000hp with its take off setting.

That's the max. continuous power setting. It develops more on max. military setting.

The power outputs in my table are maximum sea level outputs for all planes.

HTC should definitely put this plane on their to do list.

However, I think it belongs near the bottom. There are many more aircraft and vehicles that played a much bigger part in the war.
B-17E/F, Stuart, PNZR III, He-111, Ki-43, Ju-87G(tank killer I think), etc.

I'm not really sure how the Brewster got dragged into this, but I do know that it played a significant part in one theater of war and a minor part in another (as a different model, but the same plane nonetheless).

That second pic is great.  Those big bombers do need an escort.  :D

Yup, and I was holding onto it to put in a week or so as well  :rolleyes:

Now I will have to find something else to post, which,  hopefully wont be too long. One of my squaddies is going to work on a restoration project, and in some pictures he posted I spied a Boomerang in the back of a hangar, at the moment it doesn't have the engine attached, when it does I'll ask him to take a photo or two.
