I had a thread that centered on acceleration tests the last three or four months; a lot of useful information can be found there, and if you can find the Pilot's Notes for the Martlet or F4F somewhere, there will be some Good Stuff there too.

Yeah, hellcat is a bit uglier than wildcat. But out of all navy fighters, corsair is my favorite. Just hate the fact that we don't have -4 in this game.
