Why is the F4U-7 6.0?

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.

the F4U-7 should stay where it is for grb or even 6.3 since the snebs are good when you know how to use them. But should be at most 5.7 for ARB since its American brother that is the same but lighter by .17 tons sits at 5.7

i think both of the late F4U-4s are overtiered as there are many props beneath them that are better

Get real… holy hell. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

No, you don’t. Lmao.

youll fight these if your lucky 70% of time youll be uptiered fighting super props

Much slower than F4U-4, I have killed quite a few of these while playing it. You can also out-stall them in some niche situations.

-4B outguns them easily and is still faster. All you need is for them to get in front of you ONCE and they die.

Same as above, except against these you CAN stall-fight them because the corsair has unrealistically good low speed performance and amazing flaps

Same as above except even slower, you’re a whole 100kph faster at pretty much any altitude

*4.7, and two less guns compared to -4

What superprops? Only Mk22/24 are worth anything. J6K is just you but a whole BR higher. P-51H is on your team.

dude you’re literally just turn fighting lol probably without losing any speed first either, all of those aircraft can easily be counted by the f4u4b by using its insane speed and energy or with its low speed stall performance

In ARB they’re 4.3

In ASB, they’re 5.3 and 5.7.

The 5.3 F4U-4 is an incredible plane in SB while still somewhat balanced. It has incredible low-speed handling, ridiculously powerful flaps, it has a better turn rate than 109s except for the 109F4 and very good roll rate (and then SB specific: bubble canopy with rear view mirrors. Those mirrors saved me countless times). I have defeated yak-9s and yak-3s while defensive in the F4U-4 as well using scissors - they’re very, very good at flap abuse and rolling.

The 5.7 F4U-4B is a “babyplane” in SB: so good that it’s considered overpowered. It takes everything the -4 has and adds railguns (AN/M3 - one of the best cannons there exist) and an upgraded engine that just won’t quit.

i dont plane sim battles so im only discussing air RB

i literally only BNZ in it cause the F4U4 isnt very good at sustain turn fights and doesn’t climb faster than most planes you face and you cant Bnz that wel because of that the spits will always be way higher same with the yak 3u which is a ufo basically and you should almost never stall fight cause makes you a very easy target in 2v1
you can run away by out diving the yaks and spits but then what your just gonna get shot down especially if your team is loosing

youll often be facing 6.0s cause vacum of the JU288 in a down tier very strong tho in a uptier or your br you dont really have much to do you cant really control the fight very well in

F4U4B is also 5.7 only the with 50 cals is lower br also this is a RB post not SB

I don’t know what you’re talking about man, it is good at those things and the climb rate is mediocre not bad, the wings provide a lot of lift so it turns and climbs well. There are FAR worse 5.7s the f4u4b is very good there. yak3u and lfmk9 are literally just op meme vehicles like the p51h that should be moved up but just aren’t bc I guess some devs like playing them. for example compare it to the k4, you’re literally faster and turn better, the only advantage is climb rate and that’s only at low and medium altitude.

half of my matches im up against those vehicles its very annoying and K4 isnt a dogfighter its a energy fighter
