Request tacticle help for USN planes

[Flanker1985]

Hi guys. I have been flying this game ever since its very original release. However I have been flying Soviet planes. LaGG-3 and MiG-3 in the early war, La-5 in the mid war and La-7 in the late war.

Now I am trying to fly the carrier-bone fighters for the fun of it. Namely USN fighters. To enjoy sea battle
OK, I know how to do a carrier take off and landing. But the issue is how can I take on an Zero or Ki series with a F4F?? The "view object" section says that US pilot had adapted tactics against Zero. But how?? Zero has superiority over F4F on both energy and maneuverability. And unlike the mid war Soviet planes which has bubble cockpit, in F4F I can't see a dawn thing behind me. Not only on F4F, it is the same case on F4U and F6F.
I have tried, the only fighter that is better than Zero on both energy and maneuverability are La-5FN and La-7.

I need your help if you know how to deal with Zeros. Please let me know.
Not only the F4Fs, the F4U, "view object" says it has good maneuver. But I tried, it can still be easily out maneuvered by Zero. Also it bleed speed so fast during maneuver. F6F has better maneuver compare to the F4s, but it is still out maneuvered by Japanese planes. The weapon is also a problem in late war, 6 heavy machine gun just don't have the same punch as they use to while Zero has cannons.
