a little break from jet aircraft pt.2,

The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand; additional production contracts were given to Goodyear, whose Corsairs were designated FG, and Brewster, designated F3A.

The Corsair was designed and operated as a carrier-based aircraft, and entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy in late 1944 and early 1945. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of World War II.Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II and its naval aviators achieved an 11:1 kill ratio.Early problems with carrier landings and logistics led to it being eclipsed as the dominant carrier-based fighter by the Grumman F6F Hellcat, powered by the same Double Wasp engine first flown on the Corsair's initial prototype in 1940.[6] Instead, the Corsair's early deployment was to land-based squadrons of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy.

The Corsair served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria.In addition to its use by the U.S. and British, the Corsair was also used by the Royal New Zealand Air Force, French Naval Aviation, and other air forces until the 1960s.

From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured in 16 separate models. Its 1942–1953 production run was the longest of any U.S. piston-engined fighter.

Hitting the enemy corvette right in the ammuntion rack.

Shortly after,he merged with the Zero,and had to throw off the weight.

Even though he is maneuverable,the Zero got his wing shredded off by the Corsair's .50 cal machine guns.

Controls:
Standard SP controls.
Trim to level the aircraft.

Weapons:
6x AN/M2 Browning .50 cal machine guns
8x HVAR rockets
2x AN-M57 250lb bombs

Notes:
-Because of the extremely bad takeoff and landing performance,it is best to start in air.
-Really good in dogfights.
-Except the remastered version and captured(yes the German Corsair)version soon.

Have fuun! :D <3
