The F4F-4 Was an American Fighter that was used for dogfight in ww2. The first model of the famous ''Wildcats'' was the F2A that was deployed at Wake Island like F4F-3. During the pacific war, F4F-4 was released, with one new gun in the wings and a new fuselage and armor. It was a variant of F4F-3 improved.
My favourite plane of all times!

Wow I was not expecting to win so many upvotes with this plane. Thanks community!!
Can you make a F4U-1A?
@Iamlolz it's not important
The F4F-4 wouldn't have that USAAF logo.
@TFM8 That was the hellcat, not the wildcat
I like it a lot. I was about to make an f6f hellcat, but I could never do it better than you
@Bluerobot11 in dive they were equal, because of the superior power of the Wildcat, A6M Zero had worse engine, clocking in just below 1000hp, weight is the real factor of difference.
Did you know the F4F Wildcat was Heavy and underpowered? Japanese Zero Pilots would enter a near vertical climb, and when the Wildcat Stalled because of its weight, the Zero would turn back around and easily kill the Wildcat in mid stall. this changed however when the Navy introduced the Similar looking F6F Hellcat, which had a much more powerful engine and could follow the zeros through in climb for long enough that the Hellcat could shoot the Zero out of the sky.
I read it as F-fourty-F
I got an opponent :)
Don't worry for the perfomance of the plane. It can be improved with xml file editing.
@ReischetzFokke it is, but I don't mind.
The shape of the plane is spot on. Great work.
@SazonAir Thanks for the comment! I Will fix this thing!
