I fucking hate this thing in War Thunder it always ruins my day because I can't seem to be able to outrun it either low or high alt

Fuck yeah, this plane was so fucking cool to look at as a kid. Does Jow Forums have any recommendations for naval-aviation related literature or media? Most I know about Pappy was an excerpt from Baa Baa Black Sheep that was used in War in the Air, so I need some more stuff.

>aka jap wet dream
That's gonna be a no from me, Chief.

The sad thing is Pappy is an alumni of my University, U of Washington. When they wanted to put up a memorial to him the student union voted against it saying they didn't want a memorial to another rich white man who killed minorities or something to that effect. Never mind he was a poor native American. Instead they put this ugly, shitty memorial to UW Medal of Honor winners in the middle of a round about and don't take care of it so it's overgrown with moss. Still makes me furious. Sad especially since Washington had some great people such as Robert Eugene Bush and Bruce Crandall also go there.

He wasn't rich at all and drifted from job to job post war.

Yeah he was a pretty sad case for a while.

For you.

he only got the MoH because the Mureens needed a hero

Lol not compared to say a skyraider

TBFs and SBDs are not F4Us.
And Sparrows do not launch from a VLS.

That guy should get kicked for flying with a ping that hight. that's blatant abuse.

Corsair fuck yeah.

Just like those after party hentai girls. What a slut.

Interesting fact, I actually know a guy who hung out with pappy, he didn’t get along with Conrad who played him in black sheep , pappy was a fighter in his life before flying, n he was a pretty salty badass dude. The Corsair is one of my all time favorites. Sikorsky was one of the best aircraft engineers to live.

Was there something negative about the unusual wing design?
Of course it was heavier, complex to build and in F4U's case required also complex landing gear, but how did it affect the airflow and flying?
Still I find funny how it was so much faster than F6F with very similar power and weight. Was there really anything than simpler carrier landings that Hellcat did better?

Gull wings were required for the fuck huge propeller
No idea how it impacted performance

git gud at energy fighting German pesant

The perpendicular fuselage/ wing junction was lower drag.

loved black sheep squadron, dude was a total badass in every sense of the word, and easily could relate with the common man, he never really had a career and lived day to day.

Wtf are you doing? I dab on Corsairs whenever I'm playing the Germans or Japs.

Heeey fellow UW. I remember this bullshit.

F4U

Corsair's top speed was at mother fucking sea level, and was faster than a mustang at altitude.
