No I was looking at what could the corsair take under it’s wing
that is a LOT of horsepower dependent on ram air. Its crazy that the f8f’s and f7f’s were so efficient with it
You mean last graph? That is not what graph is showing, graph shows power vs speed not the max power of the engine.
look at what graphs have quoted, it’s on those
I was reading the graph wrong. Ill work on the suggestion when I get home
Basically SAC says it can carry up to 2000lb bomb in center pylon (the one in the middle) and up to 1600lb in wing pylons (the ones to the side of the center pylon)

I wanted to do another suggestion, either on the Martin PBM-5A or the Tu-4 with the AI-40K turboprop for china, would you like to help me at some point ?
Im not really knowledgeable in either. But sure, I can try

Also do the armor you mentioned into Details and Spec make the whole aircraft heavier, they look like ones from the AU-1 / F4U-7
AU-1 and F4U-7 inherited F4U-5 armor and added even more armor.
Weight is as specified, 12900lb full ammo and full internal fuel.

Wait, you mean F4U5 has CCIP?

Not quite. The gyroscopic gunsight has a setting for rockets. The pilot tracks a target on the ground for 4 seconds, and the gyro uses that data to update the sight and give accurate lead to the rockets. And the F4U-5 isn’t the only plane to have this feature. This would also apply to the AU-1 and F4U-7 The brochure gives a pretty detailed explanation of it.
I think it can be considered as a CCIP, the only issue is if it ask players to use 4s to wait the system works.

as far as i can tell if the mig 15 bis ish gets ccip, the the F4U-5 can be modeled with CCIP. Because the system in the bis ish was directly copied off of the americans. Im trying to find evidence to get this modeled on the AU-1 and F4U-7
I wonder if such an aim system appears on A1H or AD4? If so, it must be a great buff for the US WWII BR
Not really, as the only ordinance the system mentions is hvars. so unless you are doing dedicated anti spaa work, its not going to be very useful
Added link for the flight manual, if anyone is interested!
France has the F4U-5 right? Weird that they have it and the us doesn’t get one
France has the F4U-7, its not the same airplane.
F4U-7 is developed from AU-1 that was developed from the F4U-5.
F4U-5 is lighter and has a better engine.

Ah okay must have gotten them confused, just remembered that France had one that the US doesn’t have yet
