Or Marines The Navy kind of disliked how difficult it was to land a Corsair on an aircraft carrier because the nose of the plane was too long and mqde it difficult for pilots to keep eye contact with the deck (until the Brits developed a technique for it), so they gave most if not all Corsairs to the Marines. Until they too figured out how to land them on aircraft carriers.
Fun fact, the real Corsair had an “air brake” setting for the landing gear where they would only deploy about 1/2 way from what was required to land. Just enough to get that flat cover surface out to slow the plane.
That feature would deploy only the two front wheels because those two where built different 💯, but not the tailwheel because it would get ripped at speed like normal
Earlier A models had manual landing gear hand controls for the pilot to hand crank the knob down to lower the landing gear. During engagements in the Pacific they'd crack that knob down a bit to have the landing gear cowlings fall into the slipstream to create just enough drag to allow for better maneuvering against the more nimble Japanese planes. Later in the war the later models had more robust landing gear suited for the harsher conditions of carrier takeoffs. Then the dive brake controls allowed for both front mains to deploy and act as dive brakes. War Thunder first modeled in the former on the A models but everyone complained about the borrowed text "airbrake deployed" coupled with "Corsairs aren't dive bombers" so they removed this feature. Stupidity at its finest.
My favorite series of aircraft to fly in game. Great characteristics, good armament for all models, and pretty tough as well. It’s everything you want in a fighter, and im proud to say im a dedicated Corsair pilot
Okay as an added tip . Corsairs have 8 mins of usable WEP. So keep this in mind when flying them . Reserve 4 mins for climb so that you have 4 mins to use in critical situations when you not only need that power but also need your engines to be as cool as possible.
@@juanordonezgalban2278 We are talking about airframe not the engine (which is not underpowered by any means). Airframe makes it one of the fastest planes for it's BR in level flight as well as dive speeds. High speed control is also remarkable. It turns pretty well too.
If you want to have fun with the cannon corsairs you can remove the gun upgrade and load stealth belts so you have auto shotguns and the enemy can’t see your fire. People will head on you and get clapped.
3:33 I'm gonna be nit-picky here. TAS is the actual airspeed, not in relation to ground. It is how fast the air actually moves relative to the aircraft. IAS will decrease with altitude due to the density of the air decreasing and therefore causing a reduction of dynamic pressure (dynamic pressure = 0.5*density*true airspeed^2) which the aircraft is subject to. IAS is calibrated to sea level conditions, hence at sea level under normal conditions your IAS should be identical to your TAS.
3:39 Well yes, but no. GS (Ground Speed) = Speed relative to the ground TAS (True Air Speed) = Speed relative to the air IAS (Indicated Air Speed) = Speed as indicated by the airspeed indicator. Planes use a pitot tube to measure air speed. As the plane climbs, the air becomes less dense and the dynamic pressure inside the pitot tube will become smaller even if the plane is flying at a constant true air speed. This is actually a good thing, because (as you mention) this means that you get a better indicator of how the plane will handle. In other words, the plane will handle the same at 300 knots IAS whether that's at sea level or at 20,000 ft. In the former case, TAS will also be 300 knots. In the latter case the TAS will be about 400 knots. CAS (Calibrated Air Speed) = IAS with a correction factor for instrument error. The difference between GS and TAS is the wind - on a day with no wind they will be the same.
@@aregulargenericname8794 i had an awful spading process with it but after that it becomed my fav American aircraft together with the mustang, they have such amazing capabilities as well as most of the other American planes like the P-38s
9:06 i actually recomend puting atleast 3 points on vitality first, just so your pilot doesnt get one shot from a single Random 7mm lucky shot, you will thank me later
You explained actual things without spamming some technical shit for a noob like me. I was looking for this channel for 2 years! Thanks!! You need more subs!

Personally, I prefer the universal belts on the MURICAN 50's, they use AP-I rounds rather than the basic AP ones, which means more bonfires to keep your opponents nice and cosy... Or painfully uncomfortable, you choose which.
Same, everyone I've watched tends to use Ground Attack or Tracer, but I actually looked at the belt composition and decided that Universal AP-I belts were probably the best. Now I just have to figure out what is the best convergence
I really like this content. And I think it's the 1st time I have seen The Face of the guy and not heard the automated voice instead. Only 1 word. Epic.
Astonishing! I have a 1/18th scale Elite Force F4U Corsair model of this exact design. With the number 82 and with the exact same nose art: Daisy Jane.

Having a way to show both IAS and TAS are advantageous. Think of an FPS game: TAS is your overall ammo pool IAS is the ammo in your magazine. TAS is a Decent indicator of the TOTAL energy you have available, stacking with your IAS. The higher your are, the higher your TAS, the faster you are, the higher your TAS. Your IAS can affect your TAS, but if you can keep minimal energy loss and in fact carry more energy than your enemy. You have higher chances to win.
now there is a bouns point there if you load ground target belt this will allow you to either snipe thier pilot or set them on fire or even cripples them completely works wonders aganist bombers as well
It’s funny, I just started war thunder and I bought the Corsair premium after learning the ropes and realized my gameplay is better suitable for a spitfire or zero. I love how this game takes the little stuff in consideration. But anyways. I found fighting those 2 were almost impossible, so I steered clear.
Love the video! and the new style. Just a slight correction. TAS is the speed of the aircraft relative to the air through which it is flying and is corrected for pressure and density,IAS is basically airspeed measured and indicated by the aircraft and has some issues such as calibration and position errors,Airspeed in relation to ground is Ground Speed. The reason why IAS is used is because TAS corrects for pressure and density,IAS does not,these 2 factors significantly affect performance especially in higher altitudes.What that basically means is TAS is speed you are flying through the air but not the actual volume of air. The control surfaces and wings need a certain volume of air for proper performance hence why IAS is used because it displays the airspeed based on the actual pressure of the airflow.
@@SpaceCatOfficial Haha no worries, we all make mistakes. You're welcome, and genuinely your videos have helped,not much of a tank person, your XM1 video came out just as I purchased it and if it wasnt for your video I would have learnt the hard, losing a lot of SL way lol
Sideclimb to 4000-6000 meters. Pick off everyone who is at your level and higher and ignore everyone else below you. Then you can boom and zoom. You can use gear as air brakes.
After seeing your epic fucking slomo fight in the part that I first thought was the "intro", and then later seeing you use so many memes, I think I've never liked and subbed so fast befor in my life. Turned the bell on too btw ;)
The Corsair in history was one if not the best medium to high speed turn prop fighter of ww2, it shit on zeros it was s o good at these speeds. I would not say it was a boat, tho love the video
I would advise not to try to run from yaks if they have speed because the yak's are a jack of all trades master of none, but beware of being below 4000m because that's were they preform best.
Great video, good to see reviews like this again! Could you do one on the J21/A21's in the Swedish line? I've had a good time with them over the past few days.
