Hello everyone,
I’m a primarily Ground RB player trying my hand at Air RB because Air AB just seemed boring to me. I’ve gotten one of my favorite planes, the F4U Corsair. Despite my issues with it as I’m not familiar with the BnZ playstyle, I’ve noticed it behaves very unusually at some speeds.
I understand that at high speeds, planes will suffer from compression but I seem to lose control of the plane at speeds around 300kmh which seems ridiculous since it’s a decent speed.
I notice this most often when taking off, the instructor will hold the rudder at an angle for god knows what but this is a more extreme example. I’m being chased by an M.B 157 and I know I’m not gonna outrun him so I decide to throttle down and pop the landing gear out to bleed speed and he does indeed faceplant into the ground.
Feeling proud of myself, I retract my landing gear and throttle up to WEP and turn gently to my left but…the plane just sort of side slips instead of going straight. The instructor is jamming full right rudder and I try to dissuade it from this but jinking around, rolling and hit left rudder but it doesn’t relent. I then hear an enemy diving on me and pull hard left and the plane just loses all altitude despite gaining speed and me pulling up.
I’ve never had any plane as unruly as this and I don’t understand why. Can any Air vets tell me what’s going on?
