without tryign to be offtopic, the f4f has been, on 4.09 and 4.10, a relatively good manveareble plane, compared at least with other american planes ( f6f hellcat and the other cats). This is offcourse a subjective opinion

Not in my 4.10 patch, otherwise I wouldn't have posted but I hope others will try them and make an impartial comparison. If everyone agrees with you then I bow out gracefully (or hide my F4F-4 and re-model it to look like a Seafire.....
 )

You know, you could try the following:
Go to the quick mission builder and set up a 16 vs 16 or even 32 vs 32 dogfight between Seafire and F4F. Make sure the pilot skills are the same for both sides. Hit fly, engage autopilot and watch the show. I did a 16 vs 16 once, and all F4F got shot down in exchange for 5 Seafires. Not really a manoeuvring contest, more an overall comparison, but still a nice indicator. And definitely hilarious to watch.

I will try that but I have based my post on Pacific Dgen campaigns against the Zeros (1942 circa), the F4's outperforms the Seafire in T&B against the Zero and almost impossible to stall, retains it's energy far better. I tried B&Z with the Seafire and that's about the only way I could maintain any form of repectable energy to deal with the Zero. .....is it me?

Just did another thing for fun. Put me in a Seafire vs. an AI ace A6M2. Got onto its tail, stayed there. It got boring, so I pulled inside, overtook it, and outturned it again.
Check the track and try it in an F4F. I carried full fuel.

Cheers JtD, I have downloaded the Track and will look at it several times then set up similar with both ac to make a comparison. Out of interest where did you upload that Track so that I could download it from a link in a thread? The Seafire looks fine in that track, I need to find out why mine cannot hold that airspeed when chasing a Zero in a similar turn. 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......
