I’ve not used it to CAS - yes, I don’t have america ground for it, I’ve used it as a fighter and have used it to great effect. It’s an amazing fighter with amazing ground-attack capability. I’ve also witnessed it with its 2 1000 lbs bombs, multiple HVARs to just go and kill anything that goes near an A point or dares leave spawn.
Here's someone else using the F4U-4(cannon variant). Tell me that anything he's doing is harder than SPAA:

And for your curiousity, here's me using the F4U-4 as a fighter:

Why are you linking “arcade” anyhow.

You can see it add up to a positive K/D (48 kills to 32 deaths) in the service record accounting both CAS and CAP duty.
All the skill it involves in using is flying over a tank and clicking on their roof.
Wrong link, but same same in RB. You’re still in a topic about top-tier SPAA, either way.
Top-tier, mid tier -
SPAA game impact is nowhere near an aircraft’s game impact.
Aircraft: Capable of completely neutering and shutting down the enemy’s ability to spawn, lobbing rockets and bombs towards the spawn and killing them before they can even move into position.
SPAA:
Other than APDS-armed gun SPAA that can double-duty as tank destroyers for 70-90 SP (over the 100 SP needed for a medium tank), can you name any that can do this?
OP is killing 4 aircraft per death in his Type81(C). He is not suffering, and is instead crying about TOR for no reason. Keep up.
Can the Type81(C) kill enemy tanks as they spawn in and prevent them from affecting the ground battle?
This is not a general CAS whine topic, not sure why you two even tried doing such things.
Because y’all made the claim that no 70-90 SP vehicle should be able to shut down a 400+ SP vehicle.
Ignoring the fact that the 70-90 SP vehicle can ONLY do that and otherwise be useless, while the 400+SP vehicle can decide the entire battle singlehandedly by preventing the enemy from spawning.
I’ve used it and that thing is a menace. I was shooting at the same enemies as TORs multiple times and my missiles typically had much better success rates.
TOR is better for drones and helicopters, but for planes I’d take Type 81 over it most times.
Yes, it has 15km range but I doubt you’ll be able to effectively target non-afk targets at 8-9-10km+ range.

Firstly, not 400+ but 700+ even with CAP load, if not ~900
Suppression is a thing. Shooting down ordinance is also a thing. We should have profit for them instead of focusing on kills.
It being a kill streak bonus itself; Maps are open and plain but small with known routes; CAPs are limited; etc etc… The Unfinished War Thunder bruhh
