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.

[@danielcervantes7826]

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.

[@o_sch]

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.

i usually only fly the 4b if im over 500k lions, or if im bored of jets and need to club some do335’s. shame it’s got 31k repair, it’s my favourite plane

[@davidpetee3648]

Hey Adam! Nice video as always. I have the premium version of the F4U and the thing is an SL printer with no repair cost. Would you be down for an F7F video? Be nice to see some more twin engine fighters on the channel.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks! The French F4U4B? F7F is on my list, but I dislike it haha.

[@davidpetee3648]

@@AdamTheEnginerd Nah, Xbox gets one as a pack (F4UB VMF-214). Started a separate account and moved it to my PC.

[@mt2ryujo475]

After watching the video I must say that I've preferred the f4u's over the p51 (even tho I just started spading the US tree, from stock to full I've been tryharding to keep 1/1 kda, with the f4us I have positive and close to 2/1, looking forward for the f8fs.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

P51D's rudder is trash, F4Us are the way to go atm. F8Fs have even worse rudder than P51D. Apart from P51H, F4U4B is the best at tier 4 for US.

[@romanlane6189]

The F4U is a great plane and the way you use it scares me even though I fly the same plane

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I agree!

[@frankzhang1246]

Sadly these carries can't happen anymore cause Gaijin made the matches shorter

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

They'll be rarer yeah.

[@jakethesnake9621]

Nice, I’ve been going on tears with this plane. I’ve died only once in the last 10 games and the last 2 games I’ve gotten 5 and 6 kills

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Nice!

God video adam❤

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks!

Ive read reports from the army air corps that flew captured fw190s against the p47D, and at altitude it could out Perform it. Obviously they both have their strengths, but sims seem to make the thunderbolt out to be a dog at all altitudes and in all situations.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Nah P47s are strong in this game.

[@daveschilling8625]

It is a beautiful and effective aircraft, had ablast spading it, even though the teams were.. lacking, quite often. I also enjoyed the F4U-4, but it felt more powerful when introduced.. Or maybe I am imagining things, I dunno..

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Yeah, compared to F4U4B it doesn't have as much power.

[@marcelrhode2636]

Props to *Captain_Troska, a gentlemen who stays to his word, waited and tried to face u then even when he knew, he doesn't stand a chance, thats the spirit

[@blackairforceone]

I hated fighting those things with my k4... almost useless even when diving away. So then I decides to try this plane out... literally went thought the entire American tech tree in weeks and got it. Not disappointed at all don't think I'll be touching the K for a while

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

US teams are much worse than what the K4 is on though.

[@blackairforceone]

@@AdamTheEnginerd it's rare that i get a bad team on my side... it feels like all the axis players got bored and went on trying the allies and the allies trying out the germans thinking they'd get better
