I’d say it would fit perfectly at somewhere between 5.0-6.0br

The diagrams and photos you’ve provided all show 4 guns, as far as I can tell.

more food for spitfires is welcome
As you can see, these had three holes on each wing for the six machine guns.
The diagram did not mean it was limited to four machine guns. AFAIK, the aircraft had provisions that included alternative wing-mounted installations for four or six guns. This was mentioned in old forums a long time ago regarding the F2G-1’s weapons, in which its SAC showed four machine guns.

Ever since this was leaked, I’ve wanted it so badly. Have my +1
+1, folder it with the F4U-4B.

I see, thanks.
I guess on F4U late group between F4U-1C & F4U-4B
In other words, no one wants to buy a plane on the stock exchange. They suggest introducing a free option into the game.
There certainly should be a free grindable counterpart. Should probably be marginally worse performing than the F2G-1 because the carrier equipment makes it a little heavier, but mostly the same experience.

Agreed. I’d really like to be able to play the F2G without having to pay for it. The bubble canopy is one of the coolest features that most production Corsairs never got, and that R-4360 engine makes the plane look like more of a hot rod than the Double Wasp.
There was also an F2G prototype variant with the old-style birdcage canopy (a holdover from the early production FG-1 it was converted from). Could have that in as a slightly lower BR version (at least in SB), maybe foldered with the F2G-2. There seems to be a bit of a gap in the tech tree where these two aircraft would probably fit rather nicely, around 6.0. Maybe 5.3 for the birdcage version (which I believe may have also had the regular size Corsair tail and therefore would be a little harder to control in certain situations).

That’s a weird discrepancy. The diagrams all show 4x .50, but the irl images all have 6x .50 on them

This was leaked again according to European Canadian. Hopefully we’ll see it soon
Yeah, but we already know that it was added as an unused asset back in 2022 as a texture file. More recently, it was also mentioned in dev references last month.
+1 carrier aircraft are always cool
+1 this could be a hood addition to the research able tech tree
please add already its so OP that F2G is a locked vehicle
does it perform better or worse ?
is it a MIG 21 BIS sau to lazur kinda comparison or ?
like how much worse we talking here
@Nostalgistic
i assume the engine is uprated from the normal one for carrier take offs ?
Both F2G-1 and F2G-2 used the same engine with identical power ratings. F2G-1 is clearly going to perform better primarily due to weight differences. This F2G-2 had incorporated carrier equipment, which likely added somewhere in the range of 100 and 300 kg, although my sources do not provide an exact comparison between the two variants.
I know that the F2G-1 and F2G-2 used different propellers. The F2G-1 had slightly longer propeller blades, while the F2G-2 used slightly shorter ones. In theory, the longer propeller on the F2G-1 could generate marginally more thrust. However, to my knowledge, different propellers on the P-47 series, for example, were not modeled to produce different amounts of thrust, so this distinction on the F2G series is pretty meaningless in-game.
TLDR: the F2G-2 would perform marginally worse than the F2G-1(maybe by 10 kph slower?), primarily due to the small increase in empty weight.
