On the corsairs I always leave the wing tanks full as they always seem to never take damage like the main tank does.
Doesn't that hurt the roll?Thanks gentlemen for your answers.
For an equal fuel load, I would think you could pull harder before the wings snapped off if the majority of your fuel load was in them rather than the fuselage.
As far as I can remember I have never pulled the wings off an F6F in God knows how many sorties and on a few of those I even forgot to lose the drop tank before pulling high Gs. Usually the first thing to let go is the horizontal tail, which was the same in RL.
