Cool...the Germans should have modded the Me-109 landing gear that way from the get-go, apparently the 109 was difficult to land, the narrow track being one of the main reasons. However, I imagine the 155 would have still been a nightmare to land on a ship, with that long nose and low pilot seating position. Probably would have had to develop an arcing final, a la F4U, but even then initially the Navy didn't want to put the Corsair on carriers for the reason it was difficult to land.
@ChiChiWerx l agree
