The F7F is the new American Heavy Fighter added in patch version 1.43. Before I start out,let me say that this is the F4U-1C. Except for the overpowered climb, turn, and extra four machine guns. So in other words... overpowered! Since this thing can climb, I use it as a overpowered bomber hunter. They used these for night fighting and the skin kinda goes along with that. The cool thing is that the 4 x 20 AN/M2 cannons are in the wings beside and behind the cockpit. While the machine guns are in the wings. That's what is cool about this plane. Plus the fact that it is a twin engine heavy fighter. America needs more of this kinda stuff. I have some bad news for you simulator pilots. You can't really see ANYTHING behind you. This planes cockpit was just not made for looking behind. But do not fear! You can see all in front and beside you. Although you should be afraid of pilot kills. There is something else really cool about this aircraft also. You can carry 1 x 1000 lb bomb 2 x 500 lbs. So a 2000 lb bomb load. You can use this plane for some major ground attack. Also, I suggest using Boom and Zoom tactics because this thing can easily climb and accumulate speed. I was going 850 km/h in realistic and did not rip my wings. Although my entire monitor was shaking and freaking out! That is a problem though. For me, if your going over 600 km/h, you can not control this aircraft. It just goes absolutely crazy and it is impossible to do anything with. I also think there is another good thing. I think that this aircraft can tank anything and everything. It seems to me like this plane can take a whole lot more punishment then other aircraft. Honestly, this plane seems really op for arcade. That is why I usually just plane realistic with this. It really does take a while to get use to it in realistic. But remember, at high speeds, you can probably be out-turned by crappy planes. Plus aircraft with two engines can be hard to control in realistic. Just remember, it takes a lot of practice and time to get good with this. I am still in the process of learning this aircraft. You also need to learn how to conserve the ammo. With 8 guns, it can end up really hard to not eat up ammunition. These are just a few of some important things you need to know about the F7F-1 Tigercat!
Later on I am going to make another blog post with more information about the aircraft. I just need to learn a lot more before diving in deep with another F7F post. Thanks guys!
