The F4U Corsair has a unique inverted seagull wing, a larger body than the Wildcat that fought the Japanese before, and what is even more terrifying is that the Japanese seasoned pilot found himself diving and changing out of this weird guy! As six .5-caliber Colt machine guns spewed fiery tongues of fire, a Zero Fighter pulled black smoke towards the ground. This is the new antagonist of the Japanese pilot, the Chance Watt F4U "Corsair".
The F4U-1D has an additional hardpoint under each wing to hoist 2,000 pounds of bombs, or lift 154 gallons of drop tanks or napalm, and install four launch rails under each wing that can hold 5-inch HVAR rockets, and in later modifications, Tims Jr. rockets. After appearing over the Solomon in 1944 and mobilizing random troops, the Yamato, Japan's largest battleship at the time, was sunk by a group of American pirates.
As the last modification of the Korean War in 1950, the F4U-5N was equipped with a search radar in the fairing on the right wing, as well as an autopilot, AN/ARC-28 VHF communication station, AN/APX-2 identification device or friend foe, AN/APN-1 radio altimeter, and the sight was changed to MK20. In order to protect the pilot's vision at night, the cannon port is equipped with a T-20 flash suppressor, the 2 exhaust pipes on both sides of the nose above the wing segment have also been modified, the top is equipped with a flame suppression groove, and the exhaust pipe mouth is also added with a flash suppressor, this type of fighter is a good hand for the US military ground support, but also the most troublesome opponent of the volunteers, to know that the old bird pilots of the US Navy can fly the aircraft to dive and bomb important targets on the ground of the volunteer army in a very low attitude, and fire support, especially during the day, Many times the U.S. defensive positions were already collapsing under the attack of the support forces, but with the arrival of pirate fighters, this situation would soon be reversed.
According to post-war statistics, this propeller fighter even had a combat experience of shooting down the MiG-15 in the Korean War.
