Brigg Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 My choice would be both: The F4U-1D and the F4U-4. I'd buy both of them. Actually, there's a movie some of you might have seen called "Bridges at Toko-Ri". Take all the aircraft from that movie and make modules for them and a 1951 Korea Map. And include the straight-deck Essex-class carriers with appropriate class light cruiser and destroyer (DD) escorts. That would be the F9F-5 (or -2) Panther, the AD-2 (or -4) Skyraider, the F4U-4 Corsair and the HO3S-1 rescue helicopter. Also, include a Commencement Bay-class escort carrier. that would be awesome

Robert31178 Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Hell a -4B would be just a perfect match for the Sabre and MiG in some Korean stuff eh?
Mango Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 Bridges at Toko-Ri, what a fantastic aviation movie that was! "Top Gun" had nothing on that film!

Hiromachi Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Yes, no news guys. The list of things to do is getting shorter than the list of things completed but I don't think any news about F4U-1d will appear before CE2 is released.

Robert31178 Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Guess I'll go back to pouting lol....man between no Corsair news and ED pushing off the Rhino indefinately I'm not having a good year.....well, except for that Hornet. And the F-14 teasers. And the Skyhawk swag. Oh, and the squadron I'm in is great. Guess I'm having a good year and I'll just shut up and be patient lol.....
Cool Breeze Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Some news is better than no news Hiro IMHO. Thanks for dropping in. Looking forward to seeing more about the CE too.

Korean era SKyraiders are still stuck with HVARs and ww2 bombs, whilst nam era skyraiders can carry more and use Mk80 series plus various Rocket pods. That being said Korean war era Could use some fleshing out so its not just a Duel between the F86F and Mig15bis.

Mig Fulcrum Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 I have a question: will it come with a carrier too or we will have to use the Tarawa/Stennis?

AG-51_Razor Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) The Yorktown, CV-5, is an interesting choice and I am very much looking forward to having a straight deck carrier to fly off of in my F4U Corsair but I wonder if y'all know that the Yorktown was sunk long before the -1D Corsair was ever qualified to operate from US Navy carriers? The Enterprise, one of her sister ships, operated Corsairs in a night fighter role later on in the war. Any of the Essex class carriers would be a better choice from a historical accuracy point of view. Having an Essex class carrier already in the game would also provide a platform from which to operate any future developed Korean War carrier based planes such as the AD or F9F Panther. Even a late model CVE would fit the Corsair for both conflicts. :thumbup: Edited September 21, 2018 by AG-51_Razor spelling [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
saburo_cz Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Then it must be CV-10, which was also the Yorktown. Rudel's model picture looks like an Essex class, of which the CV-10 USS Yorktown was no it does not it is CV5 ship (sunk long before F4U appeared in service), Essex class looks very different F6F P-51D | P-47D | F4U-1D | Mosquito FB Mk VI | Spitfire | Fw 190D | Fw 190A | Bf 109K | WWII Assets Pack Normandy 2 | The Channel | Sinai | Syria | PG | NTTR | South Atlantic F-4E | F-14A/B | F/A-18 | F-86 | F-16C | A-10C | FC-3 | CA | SC |
Mig Fulcrum Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 As far as i like the Yorktown (or Enterprise in this case) maybe for the Corsair is more suitable an Essex class carrier, good job anyway.
Pandacat Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 I think Enterprise would be the best choice. Enterprise has participated in almost all early war and late war campaign and battles. If you do Essex, then you can't really use it for Battle of Midway, Coral Sea or Santa Cruz.
AG-51_Razor Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I think Enterprise would be the best choice. Enterprise has participated in almost all early war and late war campaign and battles. If you do Essex, then you can't really use it for Battle of Midway, Coral Sea or Santa Cruz. That is very true however, as long as they are going to build a WWII carrier for the one and only (so far) carrier capable plane in DCS, why not build a model of one that not only operated Corsairs off of it during WWII but also had them aboard during Korea?? I realize that it was the -4, -4B and -5 that flew in Korea but I would take a -1D off an Essex class on a map with P-51's, F-86's and Mig-15's any day. I guess I have an over active imagination! :pilotfly: ....and besides, just like the Essex, the Corsair did not fly during any of the early carrier battles. It wasn't until late '44, early '45 that Corsairs were assigned to her. Edited October 10, 2018 by AG-51_Razor [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
