The only area where M2 .50cals outclass 20mm M3s is max firing range. 20mms have the advantage in all other areas, especially when it comes to CAS, which is the main use of the F4U-7 and F4U-4B

F4U-4B is significantly lighter and retains engine power at altitude better, due to the supercharger. F4U-7 is a USMC AU-1 with a R-2800-43W engine, giving it only 2000 hp vs the AU-1’s R-2800-83 with 2300 hp.
WT wiki says the F4U-4 has a R-2800-42W engine, but I can’t find any info on that. We know the F4U-4 did use the R-2800-18 though, which does have a horsepower advantage at pretty much all altitudes.

The F4U-4 has the R-2800-18w, and the F4U-4B has the R-2800-42W in the xray. The F4U-7 has the R-2700-18W ingame too.
If im not mistaken, it is MUCH heavier due to its large amount of armor.
Because it was made specifically for French Navy.
He means US players are not performing well with their own vehicles, whereas Non-US players do well in Non-US tree vehicles, resulting in this unbalanced BR distribution.

This thing is a complete brick compared to the 4b
Extra added armour plates for a more ground attack-oriented role for the Corsair is the reason for that:

there is seperate BR for air and ground so i dont see why its at 6.0
later f4u’s are capable of fighting early jets and winning so it only makes sense (note that I’m referring to real life and not the game)
At low BRs is no difference between Air RB and GRB Battleratings. This beast has several dozen SNEB rockets, which are a nightmare to come by at WW2 BRs in GRB. Thats why Gajin still applies an compromise as BR.
The right solutions would be to pan a GRB BR of 8.3 on it. An Air RB BR of probably 5.7.
Same with these horrific US Attacker planes like Sky Raiders. They sport hundrets of FFARs in several pods. Their GRB BR should be bumped massively. I mean typical Strike aircraft which fit the WW2 time frame have like 2 bombs and some HVAR rockets.
I don’t think it is worthy of 0.3 BR below a G.91, or being a higher BR than an F-84G.
It is fine at 6.0 in GRB, rockets are harder to use than bombs, and it’s not on that good of an airframe.
Separate BRs are pretty new, and take a while to implement. They’re only for high tier planes, but will come to props eventually.
It has far, far more SNEBs and better guns than the G.91. Speed is not that important when airspawning just above the ground maps to shoot tanks. So…

THe G.91 has four Nords, and better guns depends on the model. Speed is very important since it allows you to get in and out of SPAA range easily. Spawning 15km away in something that goes half the speed isn’t good.

Spawning a plane with 115 snebs (or whatever) vs WW2 SPAAs isn’t good as well. You need radar SPAAs to counter this bs, so 8.3 is perfect.

It has to get close in order to use them effectively. At 8.3 it would just be a worse rocket heli.
Rockets require skill to use, while bombs usually don’t.
Are u high or what sayin’ F4U7 should be 8.3 even if it in GRB? smh
-4B and -7 have the exact same engine, -7 only has slightly higher weight. -4B is already undertiered at 5.7 anyway.

The idea that a plane, especially a propeller plane, without ballistic computers should be fighting radar SPAA is completely insane.
