Raise the F8F up or put it at Rank 4 just before or after the cannon U4's

you literally said

Correct, and you posted your own personal take

but its universally agreed upon different nations even, that it means battle in clear vision which requires use of maneuvering.

It’s not my “personal take”, this is apparently from this source.

yes I know, I figured the rather lackluster armarment of 4 .50 cals is the main reason this aircraft is 4.7 because that is by far the worst part of it

having only flown the French one with 20mm guns before getting the .50 cal one in the american tree it was very noticable that some enemies could just play with me while my Guns did little damage to them in situations that would’ve been guaranteed kills in the F8F-1B Bearcat or in other planes with more .50 cals

Problem is that difference between those 2 is more than a whole br jump. So either F8F-1B is overtiered and should go down (which i doubt from my personal experience) or F8F-1 is massively undertiered because people can’t survive more than one firing solution.

I don’t think you are trying to understand the point. Have a good one.

the source for that is a book from 1985 which doesn’t claim that this is agreed upon by anyone besides the author

It is very hard to understand point if the only explanation is “if you know you know”. So you either baiting or can’t explain yourself.

I’m sure you think that.

You just proven my point. Man, i know to not expect much from forum dwellers, but i’m still dissapointed

I’m sure you think that.

You reek of unwarranted/unearned elitism.

You are the living proof that my elitism is warranted and more than earned

Everybody who sniffs their own waste thinks the same about the people they simply disagree with or rather in your case, the people that don’t accept their asserted opinion.

One of the best boom and zoom fighters.

you can B n Z with any fighter that has an energy advantage

I’ve done that successfully with Mosquitos before so that doesn’t sound too much like a Plus

Brother, i don’t want to know what you’re doing in your free time.

If you can’t elaborate why you disagree - there is no reason to even consider your words at all

What a zinger. Bet you took a while to cook that one up.

I choose not to because it’s clear from the start you do not care about reading or having an honest conversation and just want to flame on here. Have a good day! I know you need it.

If a plane can BnZ in more situations than a competition, does that make it a better BnZ plane? You can turnfight in a BV 238, but statement that A6M is one of the best turnfighters is still true

The thing is that you can quickly go back to the sky and do dogfighting too. It isn’t a too bad turn fighter if you have enough speed. But most of the time I do BnZ you get easily killed the entire enemy team. You will always climb higher than your enemy in this plane as well.
