RAZBAM_ELMO Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 True, but I think the P47 was filling a very specific bomber escort niche first and foremost I suspect? I wouldn't be at all surprised if the ground attack role was an afterthought, and down to finding a role for them once the Mustang arrived on the scene. I also would love to see the F4F released. A truly iconic airframe. F$F teasers have been seen in VEAO's videos of the p40. Yes the P-40 did all that the corsair can and fly much higher, the corsair did all that the p47 can do minus the high altitudes but just as capable in the air to ground role carrying both rockets and bombs, not to mention the first fighter fighter/ bomber to use napalm in a theatre of war, not to mention it was also the combat test bed for such. YEars past and come korea they still used these planes but the corsair more than the rest due to its carrier capabilities. I think someone made a charles de gaulle carrier mod so using french naval corsairs would be sweet along with NAA (Royal navy AF in ww2). Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummingbird Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm crossing my fingers for a F4U-4, one of my all time favorites, and IMHO the best US fighter of the war, and perhaps the best fighter bomber of any nation period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedrich-4B Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) The F4U is also one of my favourites; AFAIK post "bird-cage" Corsairs omitted the outer wing tanks in favour of drop tanks. Edited April 29, 2015 by Friedrich-4/B [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]************************************* Fortunately, Mk IX is slightly stable, anyway, the required stick travel is not high... but nothing extraordinary. Very pleasant to fly, very controllable, predictable and steady. We never refuse to correct something that was found outside ED if it is really proven...But we never will follow some "experts" who think that only they are the greatest aerodynamic guru with a secret knowledge. :smartass: WWII AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo38 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 They've thus far done a phenomenal job of portraying the sounds in DCS modules. Not 100% like being there, of course (will it ever be so on a simulator? I doubt it), but far better than I ever thought I'd hear in a sim.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Even so, there are plenty of R2800's around running to get it right. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane.

Echo38 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Well, the problem isn't as simple as using real engine sounds; most flight sim/games in the last ~10 years have used real recordings somewhere in their audio development process. The problem is "mixing" it so that it sounds right under all the different conditions. It's an enormously complicated task--far more so than anyone could imagine, I think, without having at least some experience with one of the related fields. This is why even DCS, which has the best sound of any flight sim I've used (some have opined that the Accusim mod sounds closer to the real thing, but I can't comment, as I haven't tried Accusim), won't sound 100% like the real thing under various conditions. I dare say it's impossible to get it perfect, just like the fluid physics of airflow modelling. It's still good enough, at present, that I literally had all the hairs on my arms rise, just now, as I started up the DCS P-51 for the first time in ~a year. (Not my choice to be absent so long, but I'm still not able to handle a joystick for more than a few minutes without pain.) They've done an amazing job on virtually every aspect of the bird, and the sound is no exception. The R2800 is my very favorite engine of all time (don't tell my beloved P-38 that I said such a thing!); I was once lucky enough to be ~30 feet away from an F6F as it started up. Particularly on the Hellcat, the Double Wasp sounds ... well, I don't have words for how it sounds. But it sounds great, a great engine, whether it's in a Hellcat, a Thunderbolt, or a Corsair. I am confident that the sound engineers at E.D. will do it justice. Edited April 30, 2015 by Echo38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo38 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Er ... sorry, I didn't mean to talk like it was going to happen. Wishful thinking from me. I meant, rather, "I'm confident that the sound engineers at E.D. will do it justice, should E.D. ever decide to create the Corsair." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastfreddie Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Only a few major fighters planes left in the US tree after we get the Wildcat, P-40, and P-47. Corsair, Hellcat, and P-38 would be at the top of the list for me with maybe the P-39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hueyman Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would also love a Corsair, been thinking of it for a while now but never saw anything related to in these forums ... Any versions would be so great, but I personaly would love late F4Us like the F4U-5 and -7 that our French Navy used in Indochine and Algerian wars, with the huge four bladed Hamilton Standard prop ! http://perlbal.hi-pi.com/blog-images/142902/gd/131714217884/F4U-7-Corsair.jpg [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] CPL(A)IR ME/SEP/MEP/SET - CPL(H) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 seems to me like there is a lot of information available about the F4U -4 model. From old parts to manuals and diagrams.

AG-51_Razor Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 One big reason for doing the F4U-4 is that it would go very nicely with both the plane set of WWII and Korea. The 109 and 190 that are already out were both very late war machines as was the F4U-4. The P-51 and Saber were both in Korea as well as the F4U-4. It's a no-brainer!! :D The developers would only need to build a Jeep carrier (CVE) as the Corsairs operated off of them in both WWII and Korea.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yes, along with new aircraft and CA 1.5 they should add in WW2 vehicles and Naval assets including carriers such as the Essex, and even British ones that used the Corsair. There is a Charls De Gaulle carrier that can be used for the Aeronavalle Floatillas Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane.

HeadHunter52 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 AG-51 makes a great point. Corsairs had their issues in the freezing cold early in the effort, but they were great air support ships. That plane fits so well into late WWII and Korea that it really should be a no-brainer. I'm hoping to fly the P-47 and F4-U this year. We will see.

Echo38 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Isn't the -4 a bit overkill for even the 109K-4 and FW 190D-9? As I understand it, the F4U-4 was faster and also more maneuverable, in general, being end-of-war tech. Not as good of a match as some of the earlier--and more usual--Corsairs, unless I am mistaken about the performance.

As I understand it, the F4U-4 was faster and also more maneuverable, in general, being end-of-war tech. Not as good of a match as some of the earlier--and more usual--Corsairs, unless I am mistaken about the performance. And what are D9 and K4 if not high tech. I am pretty sure -4 was from end of 1944. Both Dora and Kurfurst were issued into service roughly at the same time as F4U-4. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]In 21st century there is only war and ponies.
