you dont need to dogfight them

skipping bomber lines is a very common thing.
in other words, the F8F is worse.
theyre complaining its too strong
the 1B’s 20mms are the only thing keeping the 1B relevant. Bear in mind, the F4U-1C is 2.0 above the 1A, and it as the exact same advantage of swapping .50cals for 20mms.
not from what ive seen. F8F pilots, most of the time, just climb before being slaughtered by better planes like yaks and spitties.
no, not by a long shot.
cant outclimb em, and doing BnZ with nothing but four crappy M2 Brownings aint very viable either.
more free kills for my I-225
so in your eyes the plane that turns better is stronger
this is just wrong
because it is overperforming for 4.7 even if they have no problem killing them due to them just being better than the F8F player
the difference is that the F4U1C is a joke at 4.7 while the F8F1B just does fine at 6.3
yes you can, for the last time
then tell me why i was doing quite well in the P51C10 with 4 .50cals (most kills i got were BnZ)

The plane that turns better, climbs better, and has stronger guns is better.
Nope.
You can make the exact same argument that people who claim the F8F is good “from playing it” are only doing well because they’re facing low levels.
Meh, the F8F-1B is kinda comparable to the P-51D-30 (for their BRs). It can reasonably hold its own in a fight, but there’s really no reason to spawn it when every other plane at their BR is better.
nope.
P-51C-10 ain’t BnZ’er, and 2.7 tend to be rather squishy.
Pff, Moving the goalpost again?
You spaded 9 soviet plane out of 44, You spaded 9 German planes out of 38
I spaded 81 soviet planes out of 95, and 73 German planes out of 89.
It is okay that you skipped bomber lines, but your stats have a bigger gap than ‘just skipped the bomber line’
You told us you have ‘the majority of soviet and German props’.
P-51C-10 isn’t BnZ plane…
This part really reminds me good old YT Vid named
“If the movie ‘Red Tails’ was a War Thunder game” by TheTrollingStone.
If you really believe P-51C, F8F are dogfighting turnfighters…

do you have any idea what you are even talking about? i can tell you the P-51 is indeed not winning a turn or most energyfights
(btw did you even read the part after that? let me help you
)
*3.7
tbh i dont even know why i am arguing with a person that just ignores everything they dont agree with
this is just wasting my time and i dont think your opinion rlly matters here
nor does mine in the end

what are these people even arguing about
[Scott Pilgr… Pangolin vs The World.]
Almost everyone else is talking about F8F-1 is overpowered prop, while Pangolin says it isn’t.
While ignoring almost all of the counterarguments since Feb 5?

the 4.7 one? from facing it the plane seems competent, but USA pilots are a disservice to ALL the planes in that tree so it may well be a smidge undertiered for its performance. I havent played it so I cant say fully, i usually kill them quickly due to the pilot skill issue, tasty food for my spitfires hitsparkos.
Its free food to a spitfire if the spit can catch it (it wont) as its not really one for turnfighting it seems. American .50 cal API-T and m20 incendiary are also the only shell until mid cold war 30mms that actually does decent damage so it has that going for it at least

yea bro i just fought F8F-1 just now in ARB and my stock yak3u absolutely whooped its ass
Yes, there definitely is “babysitting” but it’s not the US lol

funny how you and pangolin still dont get that every plane is easy to fight if the pilot that flies it is absolute ass
and like i said before it doesnt need to win a turnfight to be better
and here we havethe reason why you had no problem killing it
the yak3u is also very strong

“It’s overpowered!!! nevermind that it performs poorly every U.S. player just sucks even more than the rest of the top three and when I do well it’s definitely not because I’m seal clubbing!!!”
On a side note, what’s with the Seafire hate? From my experience, it’s pretty decent.
so flying at rank 3 for fun is seal clubbing? im sorry that i rlly dont care about most stuff after the 109f4 in the german tech tree and that i play mostly the 109 f4 obviously then
i mean they got the fireball to 4.3 so…yea

Oh, you ran out of theory, so now you are entering with illogical sarcasm…
Yeah, this is the tragedy of DHEW…
Because, there is a way better version exist at 4.3BR, while Seafire LF Mk.3 is stuck at 5.0.
Spitfire F Mk.IX.
Itself isn’t bad, but just a mediocre plane if we consider she needs to fight against superprops in uptier, and there is a better plane, such as F8F-1 exist in downtier.
Somewhat kinda similar to G.55. Not bad, but there are better plane exist.
If you choose Spitfire Vc, then you can have twice the autocannons, just like how F4U-1C does
If you choose Spitfire IX, then you can have a better fuselage and flight characteristics, even in lower BR.
Especially when US Mains whom flying mustang or thunderbolts just digging the ground while A6M5-Ko climb up along with Ki-84/N1K/J2M, and being seriously outnumbered and outgunned on high ground.
If Seafire gave up altitude and stayed low, it would remain nothing but worse Yak or Zero because Spitfire series are staying somewhat kind of sweetspot between low-alt turnfighter and mid-alt BnZ.
But if Seafire climb up and tries to have high ground, not many players follow up, then they seriously get f-ed by japanese planes which they climbed up.

the guy i fought that was flying the F8F-1 was not a complete idiot and knew how to fly, he lost because F8F-1 sucks
it wasnt even close either, i was running circle around him and there was nothing he coulda done to win unless i literally let him win
US have like no turn fighter prop at all, 99% of their planes are only good for boom and zoom
and how do you know that?
oh you see that if you want to win in a US prop turnfighting isnt the right thing to do
yea and definitely not cuz the Yak3U is evenmore stupid

That is why A6M massacred F2A and F4F long time ago /j
if you really want to turnfight while playing US TT, you probably need to buy either A6M2(USA) the Akutan one, or Spitfire LF Mk.IX (USA)
both are sealed behind paywall.

cuz i was the one dog fighting him and u can usually tell by what they are doing
ill give u a quick example so u understand: I have more speed than the enemy so i pull up to stall him out, he knows what im doing and doesnt follow me.
It’s basic stuff like that - that’s how u tell the enemy have some experience
yea so u do know that US plane cant turn fight then why are u still saying that F8F-1 needs an uptier? It’s speed is nothing special, has 4 50 cal which is not outstanding, and like i said all it can do is boom and zoom
