It used F4U-4 engine R-2800-18W on 70’', plenty good, reliable and cheap yeah
-32W ofc better in paper but in reality you have to factor other things, I guess that is the reason.
Hopefully we get to compare the -4B and -5 someday ingame

Speaking of engines, how is that report on the f2g’s ADI fluid?
Its dead, I could not find anything useful yet
Fair enough. Its not like it really needs it at the current BR
speaking of attacker, do you have any idea how to read that ? :
Yo speaking well of my home country xD
Yeah plane its fine tbh. Just amuses me that WEP is 100% power.
Btw for your F8F-2 suggetsion from the links I posted:
You mean decrease in vmax of the table?
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.
