    I'm quite liking this thing. I found it working better at high altitude in Air RB due to the overheating issues below 4500m, and the three individual big bomb drops on the loadout that's similar to the AD-4s + the nearly 1000 rounds of 20mm ammo make it a beast in GFRB too.
    Really it's replaced the AD-4 in my lineup. Only thing the AD-4 does better is turn into enemy planes once you drop the ordnance, the Au-1's just kinda screwed if there's enemy air up since you're just going to be too slow after doing your CAS runs

      @@Draven-s8b I'd say the 279, unless you need an american premium. The Au-1 is really nice but it doesn't really do anything other planes in the tech tree don't already do.
      The 279, even though it doesn't have premium bonuses, it comes stock, and it gets eaten alive by APFSDS, is just such a unique tank that's really fun to play. That 130mm nuke launcher was already good on the IS-7, but on the 279 it's even better since it's stabilized and has a greater ready ammo rack capacity

    • @martijn9568
      @martijn9568 4 года назад +2

      The AU-1 is also known under an other name, F4U-6, so indeed an heavily modified -5.
      And the French F4U-7 is an modified AU-1.

    • @rainsilent
      @rainsilent 4 года назад +9

      @@martijn9568 To add on, the -7 is a -6 with the engine from a -4. This means that the -7 is missing quite a bit of weight in-game.
      Edit: A few more details regarding the AU-1. Its elevator starts to compress at 390km/h and compresses twice as fast as the elevator on all other Corsairs. On the deck, I could get the AU-1 to sustain 600km/h or 373mph. That is faster than any 109 can sustain without melting their engines. The K tops out on the deck at 603km/h or 375mph but cannot sustain it without burning its engine out. With radiators out for cooling it cannot actually outrun the AU-1 below 1km.
      Below 2km the AU-1 is actually a dangerous fighter. It can sustain 4,500ft/min climb rate up to nearly 2km and it is still fairly fast. Keep it in 1st gear below 2km and you will have no real overheating issues. Its maneuverability is hampered by the extra weight of the armor and strengthed airframe to carry more ordnance as well as the elevator nerf relative to the other Corsairs. However, combat flaps have an extra 20mph of rip speed available in the AU-1 than the -4B which slightly makes up for the less maneuverability. Note the word slightly though.

    Just a worse F4U-7 and we already have a premium F4U-4B in-game (VMF). So we basically now have 4 F4U-4Bs with varying payload options. Nice! Bombs and Tiny tims are nice on the Au-1 but the F4U-7 with the SNEBS takes the cake. Not worth the effort.

      @@TheAmazingCowpig Yes precisely why I mentioned the Au-1 frame since the additional armor slows the plane down significantly. They both use the P&W R-2800 18 cylinder engine and both have the an/m3 20mms. The F4U-7 flies just like the F4U-4B but slightly heavier. Playstyle and tactics for Corsair gameplay are universal.

    What a shame. Such a good looking aircraft, with an amazing payload, but less performance than the other variants.

    The BF 109K4 was not tune for high altitude but because of its high engine power from liquid methanol injection which made it an opponent at high-altitude but it’s variable speed super charger couldn’t spin any faster at around 5000m. Now I am comparing them to other planes in the war like the P 47 the P 51 the spitfire mark nine and above. Correct me if I’m wrong I would love to hear your knowledge about it.

      It's a different variant, but the xray claims the same power as the 4B. After talking a bit about it to DEFYN, (who always goes a little deeper into the books), he claims the supercharger is messed up and should be producing more power than it is currently in game. Maybe we will see a fix, but for now, it is what it is and it doesn't come anywhere near the 4Bs performance. As far as I know the 5 had some subtle improvements to cooling, and some changes with the supercharger, but power wise should be similar.
