F4U Corsair

The Vought F4U is an American fighter used during World War II and the Korean War.

Appearances in Battlefield
The Vought F4U Corsair appears in Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 1943.

Battlefield 1943
The Corsair spawns regularly at American carriers and bases and the "Airfield" flags of Wake Island and Iwo Jima and the "Village" flag of Guadalcanal.

In the hands of a skilled player, it can be effective against almost everything. Its armament consists of rapid firing .50 cal machine guns and bombs effective with dive bombing. Its low maneuverability and high speed can make it difficult to use and make chances to attack very short. It is extremely vulnerable to enemy fighters and 40mm Bofors.

The Corsair features landing gear if one ceases on the throttle, but its speed can make it very difficult to effectively land, so most players prefer to attempt crashing into an enemy and jumping out at the last second or simply parachuting out.
