Still not convinced with 4.10 Seafire FM.

I don't have any probs with the F4 and get 3 times the number of kills on full switch (in SP!).......maybe I need to transfer to the USN......

If given the choice I would pick the Seafire long before I would pick the Wildcat although the Wildcat is a fun aircraft now and again. The Wildcat's poor maneuverability is a bit of a misnomer... compared to European aircraft it's very good but compared to Japanese aircraft of similar date it's not.

What exactly is your method when dealing with the Zeros? Seafire versus Zero my preference would be to use the Seafire as an energy fighter instead of turning and burning which is what the Zero excels at. A notable historical case where this proved true was the RAAF's initial experience with the Zero versus Spitfire Vc at Darwin - the Spitfires suffered badly at least at first because they were trying to turn.
