My grandpa fought in the pacific (engineers) and he always talked about how it was his favorite plane. Even though its not my favorite plane, it holds a special place in my heart. If it was in the game, I would give the 109 a rest more often.

I seriously hope they have more DLC eventually.

The F-6F Hellcat was the highest scoring US Navy fighter with a 17:1 kill to loss ratio.

The F4U Corsair had a 10:1 kill to loss ratio and although it was faster than the Hellcat, the Corsair had the poorest turning circle and agility for any US Navy fighter, being secondarilily orientated towards ground attack and support

The Buffalo only performed well when NOT flown by inexperienced US Navy or US Marine personel, achieving a 2:1 kill to loss ratio with the Dutch and Commonwealth airforces in the far east and a 38:1 kill to loss ratio with the Finnish Air Force.

The only US aircraft carrier flying Buffaloes (B-339) was the escort and support carrier USS Long Island from 1941 until 1943. Despite numerous actions, the only losses were through accidents, usually involving landings.

Having flown the F-3A Corsair and Hellcat, in BSP, I'd go with the Hellcat everytime.

The P-51 also outclasses the Corsair on speed, agility, though not soaking up damage or odinance loadouts.

Before finding itself in the reflector sites of a Spitfire and going down in a nice big fireball?
