The F-4U is a beast. Great maneuverability at high speeds and its radial engine has some real get-up-and-go; it's unreal how well it accelerates and climbs. All that ammo also helps with back-to-back engagements. If nothing else, it can outlast all its opponents in a battle of attrition.
The thing I like about Bo's channel is that he is not concerned with teaching people. There are already plenty of youtubers who do that. Instead he displays relaxing game footage, where no matter what plane he flys out, he makes it look easy
These are probably my favorite fighters on the entire US tech tree to fly (barring the P-40E-1 and P-38s). I wonder if and when Gaijin will bother adding the later models like the F4U-4 to the game.
Bo thinks jets have no soul, and I don't blame him. He did admit to trying a Hunter video a while back, as you can tell that clearly didn't go too well.
Bo, you really got to stop looking back right when you could get a shot on your target. 3 times you could have pulled and nailed the J2m, but each time you flew straight and looked at the zero and so lost the chance to end the J2m.
I understand what you are saying but I beg to argue that the Corsair had a chance to maneuver with that J2M. If I really pushed the power and the elevator maybe that first time I could have gotten a shot on him for a moment. The rest of the time. I was a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck. With a Zero less than a mile above me, I will always give him attention.
Ivan Chen Yeah, though it was also a play on the word marksman so you did get that much, can't tell you how many times I got called a commie while playing war thunder
Awww the match I had with them didn't get posted. It was Berlin and I was in the A-20 and got 5 kills and 15 ground target kills and they did okay too. Oh well.
Hello Bo Time, I subscribed to you yesterday. I liked very much your channel. What game mode do you play in your video? Arcade or Custom? Thank you very much
I Got an question. I'm new to realistic battles and If you're not to good at aiming is it better with American planes that Carry lots of ammo? Or an british 20mm with decent ammo?
Hey Bo time guy video as always gotta question it's stupid but what does TBLF stand for? Also can you & your squadron please take out the Blue Fin Tuna AKA the AD Skyraider please. I can see this ending somewhat horribly. XD
Data sheets are your friend. forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/312-aircraft-data-sheets/ There you will find the official model data of most of the planes ingame, a lot of them include top speed at various altitudes, stall speed with and without flaps and, importantly, the most efficient climbing speed. Mhm... seems a lot of the US ones haven't been updated to the new format yet. Well okay then... Recommended climb speed for the F4U is between 155-160 mph IAS, or 250 kph IAS. This will get you the most altitude for the least distance travelled. Try to get above 2km ASAP so the engine won't overheat badly. Beware though, 250 kph IAS is too slow for the F4U to maneuver well without flaps, so only climb like this when no enemies are present, that means during the initial sideclimb. If you are using Manual Engine Control, Supercharger gear switch altitudes are at 1.5km into gear 2, and at 6-7km into gear 3. I am not sure about the mixture settings, I didn't notice any ill effect so far by leaving it at 60%. Leave prop pitch on automatic if possible, if not then make sure that your throttle up/down and prop pitch up/down are mapped to the same keys so you don't overrev the engine in a dive. Against agile but slow japanese planes like the Zeros and Ki-43s, always keep your speed above 250 mph IAS/400 kph IAS, that ensures they can't out-accelerate you. One last thing, if you are forced to go slow, make use of your flaps... the Corsair can do some surprisingly tight turns if the pilot utilizes the flaps correctly, especially the takeoff setting.
Is this F4U-1a or F4U-1a USMC? I can't tell because of the custom camo (which is USMC obviously, but the model can differ). P.S. Nevermind I figured this out myself. It is F4U-1a with br 2.7.
I'd take the Ki-61 over the P-40E any day. You may not have the knockout punch unless you get lucky but it's not hard to out-fly the heavier American with better climb rate and maneuverability and slightly better speed and dive capability depending on the circumstances. A later model P-40 would be more of a challenge, say a K -> N
Not Tactical Is this really gonna be a thing. I am intercepting bombers going towards carriers. I said this is the Navy as a joke. Ask a Marine what their paycheck says on it sometime. I really meant no offense by trying to make a little joke. I even watched this video with Dg4ff who served in Afghanistan as a Marine. He didn't care.
+Not Tactical Is it different enough to argue over the internet? Its not like I called them the Air Force? I am in a freaking Corsair. Not gonna apologize for making that reference while jumping on something heading to bomb a carrier.

Soldier I don't get it...the F4U can take most of those planes on pretty well
@@georgewhitworth9742 lol no, you need speed.
@@WardensSword Speed isn't everything.
Edit: Yes, I'm aware I'm replying to a decently old comment.
Seagull wings are beautiful.
At the start of the video that Bo is using?
The Corsair?

Hmmm... How many times can we watch people failing at carrier take-offs?! :D
enough to do 12 episodes of fail Montage
:D Right?
Why do people find it so hard?
Sometimes I get close, but dunno. Maybe they don't use flaps.
i could watch and not get sick. like, SERIOUSLY its hilarious.
Bo, use your damn flaps!
I love when you do the Stuka like dive
man keep the vids coming aye wish I could fly with u guys some time I'm from Australia and I would love to learn
0:11, omg I can imagine being him. Just slamming my controller and going DAMMIT SBD GO UP!!!!!
Heart sunk for a second at the start of the video
Hey Bo, can you fly out the Hawker Hunter?
Great video, btw
Bo thinks jets have no soul, and I don't blame him. He did admit to trying a Hunter video a while back, as you can tell that clearly didn't go too well.
10:16 Silently realizes he was fighting a pan plane when he said that....
Look darlin, MoEvil. Deadliest pilot of the Pacific. What do you think darlin? Should I hate him?
ahhhahahaha
Love your content Bo!
Any news on when TBLF will be accepting resumes
Its open on our forums now. www.botimegaming.com/forum
+Bo Time Gaming okay thank you
Nice vide and a the f4u was call the bent wing bast and you can figure out the rest of the word
Bo Time Gaming x
Hey I just started using the f4u-1a any tips?
Those people never learned the miracle of seawater vs flames, did they?

Hey Bo, play the Wyvern and the He 219 now that 1.59 is out! Love your content too!
when the pod cast coming out bout this plane? I can't wait :)
Just need more replays. They are not exactly flying in like I would hope.
Bo Time Gaming bad news. The new update is coming out tomorrow. I can supply any number of corsair replays you need, its basically all I fly ;)
Can u fly tier 1 plans from the Japanese
vf-17 jolly rogers had good luck with the Corsair just not on the CV 17 bunker hill.
corsair only prop plane to get a jet kill in korea.
Awww the match I had with them didn't get posted. It was Berlin and I was in the A-20 and got 5 kills and 15 ground target kills and they did okay too. Oh well.
I didn't even fire a round that match, I nearly fell asleep lol
Hello Bo Time, I subscribed to

rb
Bo Time Gaming thanks!
Realistic battles if you don't know what "RB" is!
+Austin Bullock he knows i think xD
+Bo Time Gaming this planes nick name from now on is the bent bierd
Damn Bo, that plane looks awesome. Is it custom camo?
I Got an question. I'm new to realistic battles and If you're not to good at aiming is it better with American planes that Carry lots of ammo? Or an british 20mm with decent ammo?
Use the merican 50s first, once you get the basic idea of leading and trigger discipline move onto the 20mm.
+Sebastian Nelson Just what i had in mind, Thanks for The tip.
Bo the f4u-1a is pretty op at 2.7. its just a little known fact
packr72 Stat cards are pretty much always wrong. Gaijin often forgets to update them.
***** Well then...........
well i dont trust stat cards...all the f4us climb the same
***** That's not true at all. They have different engines. F4U-1c especially.
yea but when the climb stats are all different but climb at the same rate of climb somethings is wrong
I love the F4U-1A
your tickets hit 'em where it hurts. ;)
Corsairs are my favorite plane. That J2M pilot was very good, just ran out of airspace.
The f4u corsair is beautifull
nice teamwork
Those j2m are op.
Nice vid bo I can't use mgs only cannons
Check your controls, they should be bounded to left mouse button
yeah i know im shit with them
If anything you should be better with mgs?
Hey Bo Time, Do you think that you could fly a B25 Mitchell bomber off an aircraft carrier ?
Try a b-29
B-29's impossible with the current carriers, B-25 may BARELY be possible, but you need the initial speed boost.
+WolfyTheAlpha Bo's fail Montage videos show that sort of thing
+WolfyTheAlpha but not a b29 that now that I think about it can b29s even spawn on carriers
Hey Bo time guy video as always gotta question it's stupid but what does TBLF stand for?
Also can you & your squadron please take out the Blue Fin Tuna AKA the AD Skyraider please.
I can see this ending somewhat horribly. XD
Cobey has a fucking passion for that plane I'm pretty sure
TBLF stands for Taco Bell Liberation Front. I'm serious about that by the way.
It appears that Mo is in the comment section with his F4U flying from one comment to the other.
How do you recommend climbing in this thing?

Go vertical the instant you get off the ground
it's that thing still 2.7? it's like a 42 plane vs 40 things
Is this F4U-1a or F4U-1a USMC? I can't tell because of the custom camo (which is USMC obviously, but the model can differ).
P.S. Nevermind I figured this out myself. It is F4U-1a with br 2.7.
actually is the f4u-1a because the USMC is not a naval plane, and in the first match bo takes off from a carrier
I really want a usmc variant of a carrier based f4u :( I only fly USMC version because I gotta represent, but i want the landing hook...
I love that plane but im too lazy to get all the investigation points
F4U Corsair "The Bandy Bo"
He used the same skin that I use for the F4U1A.
What skin is it and how do you get it?
“What kind of fine do you put on those things,” Me a death worant
hey Bo, will you ever play DCS?
I've played DCS. I haven't uploaded anything from it.
Where there ever any 109’s in the PTO?
Is the F4U-1a USMC a good plane? At least till I get the 1c?
It's one of (if not the) most undertiered planes in the game.
it can boom and zoom like no ones business and can rip planes apart with its universal belts
Very good, my favorite Tier II by far (except for the XP-55 lolz)
it was so nice back when 50cals actually did somthing
He posted this video at like 3:00 AM
Not in my time zone :( but yest it did come later/earlier then normal. I wanted to give that Fallout 4 video a day before I released the next one.
It's 10:30pm over here where I live (New Zealand)
It isn't a proper Bo Time video unless its released in the middle of the night. :P
How did you get the jolly Rogers camouflage
One thing I hate about the corsair. It has a light frame and will ignite at the first chance it gets yet can't maneuver at all
Can u try the good old A7M1 orange plane of doom?
Bo, are you going to do anny more spin tirres video's shortly
wait bo why did you say this is the navy when the plane has USMC on it i ant mad but that confused me
Sometimes I feel like that delta when I play WT lol
Wow, I would really like to team up with you on War Thunder..
How do you guys choose what to fly out?
Depends on who I am flying with. I usually let them pick.
Bo play as the F-4C plane it’s good
Looking forward to 1.59 Bo?
hey mo is back the family is now complete lo good to see you back buddy give BO wings some loving for me as per lol
is this realistic battles?
Yes
Yeah, Bo usually sticks to RB.
I'd take the Ki-61 over the P-40E any day. You may not have the knockout punch unless you get lucky but it's not hard to out-fly the heavier American with better climb rate and maneuverability and slightly better speed and dive capability depending on the circumstances. A later model P-40 would be more of a challenge, say a K -> N
can you fly out the P40E1 for the boys bo
how did you go in that lobby? because i wanna play that lobby to
What gun convergence do you use? Also do you use vertical targeting or no. I currently use 400 meter convergence
Bo, what ammo do you use in the Corsair?
Universal
do you still make the fail montages?
Yes, he does. He just has to acquire videos to compile into it. You can e-mail him your fails at bohicaice@gmail.com.
Didn't he get a new email for it, though?
I uploaded one last week
What game mode is this
Bo says this is the us navy on his wing it says usmc
Marines are part of the Navy.
Hey bo any tips for the f4u-1a m new to war thunder I'm rank 7 I'm on PS4 by the way
someone get that carrier's plate number that's a hit and run
When you actually snap into a slim jim
Can you play with the new american 'boat'?
incineary hotdog tickets + fuel tank = no more h8k :P
Delta had no ammo I think.
Wich skin do you use? I never saw that one
I played against DocHoliday the other day
This is the US navy But is in a USMC corsair
hey how did i get into this vid my name on war thunder is delta
anyone realize that plane is skipper from planes?
how did he not take off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is me or dose ki 61 over heat to easy
Mo can't ever finish on time
That's what she said!
How to move Camera around?
Bo what rounds?
Do you use?
looks like tracers.
Nice vid
I don't get how people struggle to get off carriers
How Moe killed SIDIUS in 2 different games XD
I'm a Ninja!

+Bo Time Gaming nice video bo
