Urgent need to increase B.R (5.3 to 5.7) for the F4U-4 in simulator mode

You seem to be exaggerating.

it does not matter.

As long as the planes are modern to each other.

If it were up to you, d5 10 15 25 was already written for hobby purposes.

For example, I took a look at the P47s and there are models with improvements in some maneuvering issues.

Actually, I think you’re exaggerating the issue. You can’t get anywhere with hypothetical conversations.

There is an injustice in the game right now. The talk of 150 octane gasoline is probably an add-on that very few aircraft use.

Frankly, it could be as you say. Then, just like now, you would go and have a dogfight with bombers. So it doesn’t make any difference to me.

Yeah I’m not even going to try to translate this because it’s a completely incoherent statement.

150 Octane was not a rare add on at all. It was used operationally in Europe from 1944 until the end of the war. In fact it is significantly less rare than the fuels required to allow the Bf.109 K-4 to reach 1.98 ATA.

Here I have even attached a primary source;

And here is another source on the Mk.14 Spitfire performance advantage from 150 octane.

It gains 30mph in top speed at sea level. That is 48 kph. It can do 620kph on the deck. It’s faster than the Bf.109 K-4 at every altitude. It climbs better. It turns better. It rolls better. It dives better.

Historical accuracy would result in German air force getting curb stomped into irrelevance from 1944 onwards. The design and engineering of their planes were largely inferior to the modern fighters that the Allies were fielding by 1944, and if the war had continued longer than it did then Germany would have found itself attempting to field Bf.109K and Ta-152Hs against planes like the P-51H.

If the planes in 44 have better performance, why didn’t they reflect this in the game? . If it were up to you, it means they were all using 150 octane fuel. If you look at it, it has been determined that the fuel quality of the Germans is similar to 150 octane towards the end. Frankly, I don’t really know.

However, what I see now is that some of the planes were raised more than necessary and some were shot down. Like d9 d30.

It suits me buddy. As long as there is historical consistency. no problem.

Although I don’t really believe what they say.

If it were up to you, of course, there could even be a respawn limit as the Germans do not have gasoline.

Because you’re being biased. You directly accuse him of nasism and launch into a personal attack. immoral creature.

The reason it is not reflected in the game is because if it was then the game would be pretty unfun for anyone having to fight against it. The game is balanced in order to make the game actually enjoyable and somewhat fair.

I think it’s okay. 109 f4 is devastating. BR of fw a5 a4 is too high.

I don’t think they will cause much trouble. If historical balance is observed, natural balance will be achieved.

Only on its rich octane rating, which wasn’t used because it caused excessive engine wear due to oil contamination. C3 fuel as used had an octane rating of ~100.
B4 fuel (92 octane) with MW-50 ADI also had an equivalent octane rating of ~100.

I’d have to disagree. The F4U-4 essentially disintegrates under any fire at all, with the wing fold being particularly fragile. and stiffens VERY hard at high speeds. Additionally, it is out-climbed by almost all fighters in axis nations, including yaks, 109s, even 190s and some japanese fighters- planes that are not so restricted to boom and zoom. It takes quite a while to learn to play well.
Just a small tip, never trust the stat cards. The information they give are often blatantly wrong- The P-51H, which the card states can climb only 17m/s, actually climbs 30m/s at min. fuel.
Now, I personally really like the corsair, as it is a solid plane with high speed and good ammo count, but placing it with superprops is really not a good idea, no offense.

This is true for almost every plane.

It is faster than all of them, climb rate matters less in Air Sim as maps are huge and objectives are at low alt.

The main issue with the F4U-4 is that (unless something has changed) it has a VERY forgiving flight model. I provided a video in another thread where you can yank the stick to your balls with no rudder input and it’ll barely stall at all. This lets the Corsair do things that at times it really shouldn’t be able to do.

It’s this that makes taking Corsairs into the vertical or stall fighting them incredibly dangerous as they can unrealistically yank the nose around even at very low speeds.

American aircraft in general have very odd flight models… I think they might’ve fixed the unstallable P-47’s but last I checked the P-40 will still just lazily roll over at full deflection.
