    Great game and camera management, I like how you divide the battle up into little skirmishes that are winnable rather than a large battle where you are outnumbered five to one. The F4U is an amazing plane against the Germans, it eats FW's for breakfast. I only realized how good it was when I played it, it can surprise even an experienced FW pilot. After that I was always super careful around them in my little FWA5.

    Starting from the F4U-1A, I have LOVED the Corsairs, the landing gear and flaps mean you can outturn anything that isn't japanese with the right input and airspeed, and the roll rate is just awesome. The diving ability also makes it a joy to do violent maneuvers in(something I really really disliked on the Hellcat which has no roll rate) for dodging rounds or forcing overshoots. I haven't gotten to the F4U-4B yet, but it's the next thing I'm gunning for. hopefully will have it soon, looks like fun by the way you handle it.

    The F4U-1A is a great plane to start grinding the American tech tree, the F4U-4 is a well-rounded plane that possesses good top speed, high-alt performance, and high-speed handling, but the F4U-4B is a true beast. It's an absolute Chad with a quartet of flying spaghetti monster dismantling cannons, a top of the line Double-Wasp engine, and a refusal to recognize the concept of high-speed compression. It takes your sister out for dinner and you're jealous of her.

    I agree that this is the best prop.
    The armament absolutely shreds enemies, and has more than enough ammo. Great speed and engine power especially at low alts, it can easily beat enemies energy fighting because of its good acceleration. The gear airbrake is absolutely genius on the inventors part.
    This thing also shreds jets because you can take a headon and just dip down and they cant pull the same negative Gs as you. Or if they dive on you just go really low and under their nose so that they have to pitch down more and crash or try to roll and risk crashing.
