Not a very big fan to be honest. A nice plane, but just not my choice

So come on folks, ONE plane. I dont think Winny, the Corsair got much flying time in the European Theatre.

The reason I labelled this as a 'fantasy' thread is because I cannot foresee any more dlc for this (well not on XBL anyways).

My choice is a Westland Whirlwind

The corsair was used in europe, more than alot of people think they were used a fighter cover by the FAA (I think) when they attacked the tirpiz.

They also struggled with carrier landings, much like the US!! but perfected it by coming into land from the left and always keping the carrier in sight... or something along those lines. I know what i mean, i jus tcant put it into words haha. They also clipped the wings didnt they, because their wasnt enough room in the smaller RN carriers? or was that just BS i heard?

A nice plane!

I'd probably choose not one of my favourite aircraft but instead somthing that is more different to the other planes. I wouldn't choose a bomber either as they are really of little use online. I think i'd go for a P-39 with cockpit and selectable airforce, please .
That gives you another plane useable in a 1941 limited game, a nose wheeled prop fighter that could actualy be usefull in a CTA game (really easy taxiing into a hiding position and the ability to kill other landed planes while taxiing lol)
