Why is the corsair so bad?

[Overwatch Blender]

I have played 3 games, and past 3 games it's the same thing.

You can't turn. Even in a dive at 350+ mph YOU CAN'T TURN. The plane struggles to stay on target and even the slightest turns knock you off course, and on top of the poor control, the rudder is the only thing keeping you in the air. I'm not joking! If your rudder gets knocked out, you cannot pull up. Even puny 7.62s wreck my rudder, forcing me into a dive I can't escape from.

The guns are alright, but that's about it. On a whole, the corsair is a huge disappointment, and it's the sole reason why I'm giving up on the US line. I cannot bear it any longer.

Climb to the side of a map at 15*. Then at 10,000ft climb inward at 5*. Dive on anything less than 1.5mi below you unless there's already a teammate attacking them. Same goes for the Bearcat and Mustang (except climb at 20* and 10* with the Bearcat).

you just suck at it then.i do amazingly in it its just a strict BnZ'er dont try to turn

I do boom and zoom, but the guy I'm attacking does a wiggling maneuver forcing me to break off, and then he can turn around (japanese fighters) and spray my tail, ending up in the same situation; rudder gets destroyed, causing me to lose control and die.

Are you playing arcade? That guy shouldn't be able to stay on you after he did a sharp maneuver and you zoomed away. You have a lot more energy than him.

No, I am playing RB. I know that in RB you are easier to kill, but all he needs to do is land one hit on your tail to kill you. And if he hits you with a 20mm, my entire fuselage goes black and my wings go red! It's outrageous, the corsair is so weak that if it screws up the boom and zoom and the enemy sets his sights on your plane you are practically dead.

It sucks primarily because it's an American plane.

Are you using the F4U-1a or the F4U-1d? I've had vastly more luck with the 1d, and the thing should maintain vertical maneuvers rather than horizontal ones. Just pull up and dive down again (after some delay) rather than trying to turn in on them.

F4U-1a.

If you can't get the F4U-1a to work, I'd skip the corsair and fly P-47's or F6F's (which are at least reasonably similar) until you unlock the F4U-1d.

I don't like doing 2 lines at once, because I don't have enough slots to accommodate my usual lineup (Fighter, Fighter, Fighter/Fighter Bomber, Bomber, Fighter)

I did another game today and I actually got 2 kills, but I had a hard time aiming at 440 mph, and only started gaining good control at 360. If you turn at high speed it starts to roll instead of turning the way you want it to.

F8f-1 Bearcat wants a word with you.

corsairs have a decent turn rate, but yeah, they tent to get out turned by almost anything, on the other hand, they have an absurd top speed and acceleration, i have them almost all on elite level.

[Erosinnin]

corsair was a very good boom and zoom fighter that go many japan air kills
but that being said it could never out turn japan aircraft

[Overwatch Blender]

I tried BnZ tactics in a game I played earlier, and the Yak-3 chasing me shot me down. I was climbing at 380 mph and he can still kill me. Same goes for the J a p s Oh steam, you and your censoring

Your Combat Flaps own the game.... Use them.
