F4U-7 - An Absolute CAS ANIMAL That Also DESTROYS Aircraft [War Thunder]

The F4U-7 is one of the most powerful propeller planes in all of War Thunder in every way possible. It dominates against ground and annihilates aircraft. This thing can do it all.

Just FYI the Corsair uses its landing gear as air brakes, just drop them when you're diving and as long as you stay under 730km/h they won't rip whilst acting to slow you down. (Which is a higher speed than you can keep the flaps on combat before ripping)

6:39 Ah yes, I die to the F4U in my modern 2S38 all the time

[MrSquigglies]

They really ought to change the BR of some vehicles based on what modules you have unlocked for them because some vehicles are absolutely worthless until you do unlock certain loadouts or you boost their mobility completely and others get absolutely broken once you do...

Subscription to Tankenstein deffo paid off. I’ve had this plane forever and is a staple of my favorite lineup, France 6.7, and I never realized I could take SNEBs AND bombs. Dumb as I am I never took a second look at the custom load out.
I’m incredibly stingy about likes but holy hell, this video gets one just for that realization alone. Thank you Tankenstein

The F4U-7 is great for when you need to get a bunch of assists, too. It frequently penns but doesn't destroy. You almost always have to hit the target 2 or 3 times for a kill.

if you go 0.3 br up the A-1H has an even better weapon selection

You always make really good WT videos. You and Spookston are 2 of my favorites. Always reasonable, no ridiculous editing, sound effects etc. Also no blatant lies and pandering to Gaijin. I appreciate it thanks

The F4 Corsair has been long been one of my favorite planes ever since I was a kid watching the show about the Black Sheep squadron.

Bro I use the new AA truck in the French tree to cap a point since its super fast, J out of vehicle and get into to this. I usually get 9 kills overall and since the enemy team doesn’t have points to spawn a fighter and doesn’t usually spawn AA it’s just got tier CAS. I’ll continue to do it for however long I can. I only did the French tree for this vehicle

I play French 6.0 a lot, this aircraft is strong but American CAS is still stronger because of selection. For example with a couple scouts and 1 kill or cap, you can bring out the AU-1 then the P47 as a combo. With the F4U, I find it best to drop the bombs on my first passes, then fire the rockets a lot slower. Very often 1 rocket will kill something, so it's more about accuracy than spamming. You also can't dive with the bombs because the aircraft will lock up, so speed has to be kept in check.

Lastly, you really don't need to take out the 1k bombs, you can save a few spawn points, but more importantly you'll probably play more conservatively.

It's really hard to take this out beyond 7.7 in GRB, as SPAA just eat it up.

All be back when CAS isnt ruining matches

[sauronsrighthandman]

I personally enjoy using just the Snebs. What I would recommend is binding a key to Rocket Barrage and figuring out how to aim them properly. Line up a shot on a tank, then unleash a short burst. If they have an obvious weakspot like the Tiger 2's ammo rack, aim for that. For open tops, go for single shots.

Oh, and I would also take only 4 pods, the 5th and 6th pods are often times too far out to actually hit a tank unless you're at a very long range where it's hard to aim. So it's basically just unnecessary weight at that point. Keep them or don't, I had just as much success without them as with.

[DasGermanBias]

I feel like no one talks about the f4u 7

[kamilfortuna]

sky rider a1h from that one BP is the king in my opinion when it comes to CAS, 40 zuni rockets, can start sniping people at 3km like there's no tomorrow . did i mention its 6.3?

[arcadeians]

I think that CAS is fine at least at low tier just because the bombs don’t do much and the players, like me, are quite inexperienced so we don’t hit every bomb/shot

[guerrinlove]

Had a game with this where I got 8 ground kills and 3 air kills in 1 life. Felt like a god

[whatdothlife]

Anyone who likes this in Ground RB that hasn't tried out the Strikemaster you gotta play it. Your offensive guns suck on Strikemaster but the R80 SURA rockets are very accurate and potent along with three bombs.

[Drakey_Fenix]

I personally think the A-1H Skyraider is better since it can carry a lot more ordinance and it is only .3 higher than the F4U-7. It has tons of rockets and bombs to select from. Probably the best CAS aircraft in the game at that BR. And if all that wasn't great enough, it also has flares, so you can bring it up in higher BRs and use the flares to protect yourself.

Honestly - if they put in the ability to make loadouts on the US's F4U-1D, and made sure it was done right cause they way it looks at the moments is wrong, it'd also be up there as best CAS for BR with 2x bombs and 8x HVAR's (cause it's actually the basis of the -4's loadout abilities, which the AU-1/-7 are basically further built off that), with the F6F-5 a close second at 3.0 BR - which I really hate that when they streamlined the trees, they not only foldered the 1D and -5, but made them rank 2 so they can't even be used for missions and all. They were my go to's for kills with rockets and bombs vs ships in most cases, now I have to rely on the P-47 at 4.0 where it starts tossing a certain US premium and a certain Russian bias squadron vehicle at you more regularly on top of just some of the insane AA some rank 4.7-5.0 ships can put out. They really need to overhaul the bluewater lines in particular to just be lines of DD, CL, BB, etc and placed based on era's/ship modification cause some things really should be higher and lower but don't work with the current way it's laid out. Arizona with it's AA vs jets? Sumner and Gearing with late war AA the same BR as early/mid-war Fletcher with at best half that AA and less firepower overall?

once the seperate mode BR changes kick in i fully expect this monster to go to 7.7
