It’s essentially the same aircraft as the F4U-1A however the USMC version lacks an arrestor hook which decreases the weight by around 30 kg (66.1 lbs). This slightly increases the acceleration but it’s negligible and both aircraft are very alike in performance. The USMC version also lacks any sort of suspended armament. To conclude, the USMC version lacks bombs, sits at a higher battle rating, and has virtually the same performance as the regular 1A. Nonetheless, it is still a good aircraft that can dominate due to its good high-speed characteristics and weaponry. |

Description
The F4U-1A (USMC) is a variation of the F4U-1A that mainly served with the U.S. Marine Corps. Although the Corsair was originally intended for the U.S. Navy, the Corsair fit right in with the USMC. The Marine Corps successfully used Corsairs and many pilots favored the Corsair over obsolete aircraft like the F2A. Lieutenant Kenneth A. Walsh stated, “The F4U could outperform a Zero in every aspect except slow speed manoeuvrability and slow speed rate of climb.” Also, the F4U-1A lacked any water injection system until they were retrofitted after an experimental F4U-1A with the system was test flown.
The F4U-1A (USMC) Corsair was introduced in Update 1.39. It’s essentially the same aircraft as the F4U-1A however the USMC version lacks an arrestor hook which decreases the weight by around 30 kg (66.1 lbs). This slightly increases the acceleration but it’s negligible and both aircraft are very alike in performance. The USMC version also lacks any sort of suspended armament. To conclude, the USMC version lacks bombs, sits at a higher battle rating, and has virtually the same performance as the regular 1A. Nonetheless, it is still a good aircraft that can dominate due to its good high-speed characteristics and weaponry.

History
The single-engine Chance Vought F4U Corsair was designed in 1938 for a U.S. Navy single-seater carrier-based fighter competition. This aircraft was designed from the outset as a carrier borne fighter. It featured an inverted gull wing to keep the huge propeller off the ground while keeping the landing gear short for carrier operations. Even after the completion and launch of the F4U-1, a number of problems were discovered which initially prevented the aircraft from being used as a carrier-based fighter such as bad stall characteristics due to the gull wing, no visibility over the nose for carrier landings and bouncing off the deck after landing. The Navy was forced to use the first F4U-1s for Marine Corps ground-based operations until January 1945 when most of these problems were overcome.
In the middle of 1943, the F4U-1A variant made its debut. To improve visibility, which was especially important when landing on an aircraft carrier, the cockpit canopy was modified to a convex shape, and the pilot's seat was raised 17.8 cm. Dive speed problems were solved with a stall strip just outboard of the gun ports on the starboard wing's leading edge.
The F4U-1A was produced not only at the Chance Vought factory, where the aircraft was designed but also at the Brewster and Goodyear factories (with the designations F3A-1A and FG-1A, respectively). The latter model differed in that its wings could not fold. The Chance Vought factory produced a total of 2,126 F4U-1As.
