It seems that in the game, Corsairs (and Hellcats, to a slightly lesser extent) absolutely rule the sky over Japanese fighters. And even though the Corsair historically was a large, fast, high performance fighter with marked superiority over Japanese models, I've always believed it was a tricky plane to fly which took skill and experience for a pilot to be able to maximize it's strong points vs. determined fighter opposition. At one point it was known as the "Ensign Eliminator" due to the number of fatal accidents by inexperienced flier. And it took time for the pilots to become proficient enough with their machines to best the Japanese.

It could outclimb, out dive and out turn the A6m as long as it stayed out of the low speed turning fight they had their lunch. The Corsair with it's huge Pratt and Whitney engine could take serious damage and still make it home. It had a long and distinguished record and for me is one of the great fighter designs of all time.

Yes, I think it´s pretty close. Corsair and Hellcats did rule the sky beyond question. These planes are just too fast with too much horsepower to weight for the Japanese fighters to do much with.

But look at these ridiculous combat air results from my game w/Todd:

Counting only the fighters, the IJN's first sortie had 5:1 odds vs. a handful of Corsairs, and then 4:1, and look at the ridiculous results; the last sortie just added insult to injury, and the IJ pilots were not novices, either.

Apparently I was up against TV's Robert Conrad and his "Black Sheep" squadron; this is worse than a Western when a cowboy fires his six-shooter once and then 6 Indians go down in the dirt!

Sheer numbers should have made some impact in this particular dogfight too as I suppose. Or am I wrong??

Status: offline 		The Corsair pilots in question were good, well rested, had high morale and were on steroids.  The amount of kills could only be attributed to 1 of 2 things:
The game code highly over rates the Corsair.
The Japanese pilots ran themselves into the ground trying to escape.

I'll opt for door #1. 

The combat, while great for me as my P-38s were no where to be found, was ridiculous.

A few times I've had my Corsairs at a low altitude, because I simply forgot to set them at a high altitude, and they came out either damaged or destroyed.

Status: offline 		The actual kill ratio for the F4U was 11:1 and the Hellcat was 19:1 so you are looking at HUGE differences in effectiveness BUT a lot of those ratios were built in 44-45 when the Japs were tossing up pilots who were lunchmeat. I'd think the ratios would be lower in 43 but still you'll get some horrible kill figures.

Status: offline 		yes, the F4U was good, but much of that was due not only to the quality of the plane against tha tof the zero, but also how poor Japan's pilotswere becomming. In the game, that does not seem to matter. The B-17 has the nickname of a superweapon in this game, but the true killer is the F4U

I seem to recall that escorts would fly an altitude just above the bombers they escorted, and my bombers w/their torps were set at 6,000; so I bumped them all up to 11,000, the bombers then dropped to 200 ft to release their fish while my escort fighters did much better, i.e., they held their own.

Apparently any appreciable altitude disadvantage against a Corsair is deadly for IJ.

I would also ask what the Japanese pilots squadrons experience were in the fights. There are many variables that can come into this. It not enough to list a loss rate.

Because historic the Japanese had used up their elite pilots by 44´ and then suffered huge losses doesn´t mean a Japanese game player can´t run through his elite pilots in the game by mid 43´ or even earlier and suffer horrendous losses in the time frame of UV.

Well said.

The problem is, though, that UV is very poor at modeling so many things that it all becomes ridiculous. In the early going, Zeroes are too good (as are Oscar Is, for that matter). F4Fs are grossly under-valued. P-40s and P-39Ds are useless in air superiority roles. Corsairs are so good, it's silly, but look at the numbers of aircraft on both sides that can fly missions - and coordinated missions, at that. A couple of hundred B-17s and B-24s escorted by dozens and dozens of fighters originating from two or three different bases? Please. 80 Bettys and 120 Zeros all together in one strike ... 450 planes based at - and effectively supported from - one South Pacific airfield in 1942? Come, now.

It's not just aircraft values. Too many aircraft can fly too many missions in too great numbers in too short a time. The first time 100+ Zeroes showed up over Port Moresby flying escort for 12 Bettys, I said, "You've got to be sh1tting me." This game has sh1tted me so many times, I probably overflowed at least half a dozen sewage treatment plants by now.

But, don't get me started. B-17s flying anti-shipping missions and hitting anything other than water? No B-17 replacements until September 1, 1942? Fix the "uber" bombing by screwing B-17s and B-24s out of 1/3 to 2/5 of their bomb load (instead of addressing the real problem)?

I hope for better - much better - from Carrier Force.

I ain't holding my breath. Gimme a good editor, at least. That thing in UV is worthless.

Yeah, there needs to be basing restrictions on the numbers of aircraft for airfields determined by base size, not just bombing penalties from operating heavy bombers at small airstrips. Can anyone see 125 B-17s based at say...Tulagi? Or any other unsuitable location.

Lordy, lordy, lordy, don't say that. Next thing you know, we'll be hearing from the "if I wanted to play a wargame that was historically accurate, I would have joined the Marines" crowd.

In any event, this is one of many, many discussions that point up a major disappointment of mine with Matrix's post-publication handling of both UV and WitP. Instead of addressing the root problem (here, insufficient limitation on base and air mission sizes), the "solution" has always been, "let's screw one side or the other's combat capabilities and forget it."

I will never forgive whoever it was that cut the bomb loads of B-17s and B-24s by as much as 40 percent in response to the allegation that Allied level bombers were too effective, particularly as you cannot change that in the pathetic little UV scenario editor. By the way, have you ever browsed critically through the bomber aircraft armaments as revealed in that editor? Note sometime, for example, how many defensive weapons have no facing (and, therefore, are ineffective), and how some aircraft (like the B-25) have no rearward-firing guns, in complete defiance of historical reality.

Oops. Sorry. It's hard to avoid invoking historicity while discussing a historical simulation...

I think most poeple that are not "history" people, and are instead game designers, look at the wrong things when putting these games together. Example: the F4U had a great kill ratio, so it must be a better plane hands down. A large part of that was due to poor jap pilots more than anything else, by that state of the war.

The Corsair was a much better plane than those Japanese planes in UV.

I just fly with the computer. I´m not very good at it. Still great fun! I always fly with cockpit on and no icons though. Are you a no cockpit person?

My favorite plane would be the KI-43 Oscar, Climbs like a dream, so lightweight!

The way the Zeros engine stalls out under negative G irritates me and is something I just can´t get used to. One always hear about how the Zero couldn´t out dive a Wildcat because the Wildcat was heavier. Besides that, A Zero under negative G cuts the fuel to the engine and it will quit unless you stop!!






Otherwise I would like it the best. Yours? And, what do you think? Think the corsair is too strong in UV? From what I can see in IL2 seems about right to me.
