I have been in awe of the Corsair since I was a kid. I was so happy to see it join the warbird stable in DCS. I bought the mod the first day it was available. I thought it was beautiful then and I still do. I wanted to love it, but I don't. The handling is not good. It flies like it's tail heavy. It just waddles around the sky. The roll rate is horrific, and it doesn't respond with any sense of urgency to the throttle. It feels reluctant to turn or to climb.
The training missions are glitchy. And I have these random engine failures. It just stops, and for no apparent reason. I have every other DCS warbird mod and am happy with all of them. That being said I confess that I had my struggles with each of them. Like any machine, they each have their quirks and foibles that have to be understood and overcome. The high speed stall characteristics of P-51 for example. Anybody who flies it knows it will depart from flight with little warning and it sucks until you get a feel for the onset. But I don't see me getting a feel for the problems with the F4u. Every flight ends in frustration and disappointment. The mod seems fundamentally flawed to me, but I still want to love it and am hoping that Magnitude will keep improving it.
