You can really see that even if you get the engine shot off at the cowl flaps, you'd still have a Hellcat to get home in! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did say they were heading CP to Rabaul, so there's that... If they modeled VMF214, that would be epic. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feldgrün Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I can hardly wait to get the Corsair in this game! Until then I’ll fly it again in 1946. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambaryerno Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 If we get options for field mods, we need these for the Corsairs: Denavalization - Remove arrestor gear, wing fold mechanisms, add raised tail wheels (either that, or just make the FG-1A/D a separate model). Broad-chord props - Paddle props were first tested on the F4U-1A by VF-17, and were then retrofit to other Corsairs in the field, as well as most of the F4U-1D production run. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambaryerno Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Another Corsair feature I REALLY want to see: The first two notches of the Corsair's flaps (10 and 20 degrees) were a maneuvering setting, and were designed in such a way that once deployed, they could "blow up" if the aircraft exceeded their deployment speed. As the aircraft slowed down they would then drop again. They weren't true automatic flaps, but the pilot could essentially "set and forget" when in combat. I don't think I've ever seen this functionality simulated before, (most sims simply decide, "You've exceeded your flap speed? Too bad, they've jammed.") so it would be really cool to see it actually get implemented. Edited August 16 by Ambaryerno 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 So, did all Corsairs have this function? Or was it just the later models? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking feature development in the early Corsairs is kind of a pain because so many later improvements were retrofit to older aircraft in the field, (IE the stall strips and paddle props) but far as I’m aware the flap functionality was designed into it right from the start with the -1 Birdcages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
