I see, I did some research and most of the other operators such as Pakistan and Iran, have modified them to use the AIM-9, but China obviously has not @Bife
Nice first build, welcome to the SP community! Just remember to pay attention to the aircrafts design characteristics, the F4U doesn’t have a bubble canopy.
Great build as always! @DILOPH just one problem with the design, which is that the nose resembles that of a Tornado IDS/ECR. The ADV has an elongated nose for the Foxhunter Radar.
-ft was heavily damaged, but he managed to drop his bombs on the enemy ship. His aircraft crashed killing Gray, he was awarded the Victoria cross. Some great books about the RN Aviation in WW2 are Royal Navy Aces of WW2 by Andrew Thomas, and Kamikaze Hunters by Will Iredale
Alright let me give you some more history. I already talked about this on Bogdans Corsair, but let me go into more depth. Obviously the average person who knows anything about Naval Aviation would say that the Seafire was the primary British naval fighter of WW2, this however is quite wrong. You see as far back as 1940, the British purchased American aircraft, such as the F4F Wildcat, which was called the Marlet in British service. Obviously the Wildcat, which was not a bad fighter, was getting replaced with newer models. The Royal Navy took great interest in the Corsair, and for much of 1943, FAA (Fleet Air Arm) pilots were training in the United States. Now most of you know about the Tirpitz, which was hiding in Norway. The British deployed a large carrier task force, to attack the Tirpitz, with little success. The Corsairs and Hellcats, being the most advanced naval aircraft that the allies had (most advanced of their type in the world) escorted these bombers, however they did not encounter any enemy fighters. Now it is worth noting, that the reason the Corsair served on Carriers in the RN before the USN, was because it was in fact the British that found how to fix the Corsairs landing problems, however in later models the change in canopy solved this. Now obviously the Pacific was the main naval war, so only a few escort carriers with F4Fs (Marlet) were left off of Norway. However it was here that one of the most interesting Air to Air combats of the war took place. In March of 1945, Marlets engaged Bf-109s over Norway, shooting down four with out taking any losses. Despite being out classes in the Pacific, the Wildcat still held its own in Europe (it should be noted that the quality of German pilots had only decreased to this point of the war). Now back to the Pacific. In late 1944, the British and their carriers carried out a series of raids on Japanese positions in Sumatra (mainly on oil plants). The FAA Corsairs shoot down several Japanese aircraft including the venerable Zero, proving that Corsair and Hellcat were the best naval fighters. Corsairs, and hellcats, served all the way to the end of the war, with many even flying raids over Japan. It was in one such raid that a Victoria cross was awarded. Robert Hampton "Hammy" Gray was a Commenwealth (Canadian) Naval Aviator. While attacking enemy shipping, his aircraft was badly damaged. However Gray pushed the attack, and managed the drop his bombs despite heavy AA. His aircra
I grinded super hard for the first year and reached Cadet Staff Sergeant, but to my parents, Boy Scouts takes priority, since I guess the recognition for Eagle Scout is really important, but I will probably do CAP again when I get eagle@Wallaby
And a ton of XML stuff, also not sure if it was in when you played, but the USS Beast got a huge update, now it has a catapult, working elevators and it also has arresting gear, in turn, there are carrier landing hooks. Also there are some new islands, and there is a WW2 destroyer in the game, near Karbala (Tropical Island with volcano) there is a convoy, and a WW2 Carrier (USS Tiny) with destroyers
I meant to make this, so that you could upload this as your own build@Jdlarkspur
Honestly I meant to keep all of this unlisted, but I only recently realized that they were uploaded public@Inuyasha8215
Yes @Inuyasha8215
@ Jdlarkspur Upload this, and copy paste the description, I will delete this one so that you get full credit
Oops you were not supposed to see this. @ChrisETH
@Jdlarkspur
Hey, I made a better version of this, I will tag you on it so that you can upload it@Jdlarkspur
It’s a joint British, German, and Italian aircraft@Yehia
Nice ship though! @Doomnolymo
You should make a HUD with English
That was kinda sus @DefinitelyNotAnFBI
Nice!
Np @Default4
Wait how did you do the thumbnail?
Lol @StrikeStrikeTheFighter
Gotta to get used to tagging you like this lol@StrikeStrikeTheFighter
Anyway great build!
I see, I did some research and most of the other operators such as Pakistan and Iran, have modified them to use the AIM-9, but China obviously has not @Bife
Nice build! Why does it have AIM-9s?
Nice first build, welcome to the SP community! Just remember to pay attention to the aircrafts design characteristics, the F4U doesn’t have a bubble canopy.
Thanks @MausTrap1946
The difference
Yeah no problem, I forgot how to hyperlink so I just put it in text, it should work if you copy and paste it, but no worries, great build!@DILOPH
Great build as always! @DILOPH just one problem with the design, which is that the nose resembles that of a Tornado IDS/ECR. The ADV has an elongated nose for the Foxhunter Radar.

That photo specified the difference.
Anyway, great build as always, super fun to play with, cheers!
Where are the harriers in the pictures from? Like what mod@ollielebananiaCFSP
You haven’t been on the site for long, so you should probably brush up on the rules, you just keep copying @Tomcatbetterthanhornet
No problem @HawaiiRanger
Yeah those two books I mentioned were great @Strikefighter04
Read my mini essay lol@Strikefighter04

This occurred to me the other day, it’s a weird glitch, yes
I feel as if they are two different things entirely, anyway, great build @AWESOMENESS360
Who would win? Arsenal bird, or this?
Which plane is in the Ravenfield mod?@BlackhattAircraft
I grinded super hard for the first year and reached Cadet Staff Sergeant, but to my parents, Boy Scouts takes priority, since I guess the recognition for Eagle Scout is really important, but I will probably do CAP again when I get eagle@Wallaby
It’s not working for me either
About a year and an half , although my activity is dropping @Wallaby
Lmao does Civil Air Patrol count as military?
https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1108688/New-Moderator @Strikefighter04
I will take a look@Rovergrow
Well he pinged me on a build maybe a week and a half ago@Strikefighter04
If your going to make a Midway set, but want to use the SBD and TBF, do a Carrier like the Essex class, the Yorktown class, etc.
Is this homemade?
I made a submission, its in my profile @Eiro
I just stumbled upon this, so let me give you a brief update on what has been added.
Weapons: Cruise Missile (Cleaver), Torpedo, Flares/Chaff, Cannons
Engines: Car Engines, Helicopter shat
Wheels: Car wheels
And a ton of XML stuff, also not sure if it was in when you played, but the USS Beast got a huge update, now it has a catapult, working elevators and it also has arresting gear, in turn, there are carrier landing hooks. Also there are some new islands, and there is a WW2 destroyer in the game, near Karbala (Tropical Island with volcano) there is a convoy, and a WW2 Carrier (USS Tiny) with destroyers
Probably a lot more I don’t remember
@Himynameiswalrus
MyMessage is back@Strikefighter04
Lmao I thought the tank was included
B
Nice Hornet, honestly though, rounded looks Spanish, but since Spain has the Hornet, I guess it makes it better
