Survivability and armour
- 38 mm Bulletproof glass in cockpit front.
- 3 mm Steel plates in front of cockpit, top of fuselage.
- 8 mm Steel plate behind the pilot

Armaments
Offensive armament
The F4U-7 is armed with:
- 4 x 20 mm AN/M3 cannons, wing-mounted (246 rpg = 984 total)
The four cannons are arranged in bundles of two mounted in each wing. Each is armed with the same amount of ammunition, which means that all guns will fire with each other until empty.

The F4U-7 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 10 x 100 kg №.1 bombs (1,000 kg total)
- 10 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (1,250 kg total)
- 4 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 kg total)
- 3 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (1,500 kg total)
- 10 x HVAR rockets
- 10 x T10 140 rockets
- 10 x T10 151 rockets
- 114 x SNEB type 23 rockets
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- AN/M3 20mm cannons have a lot of ammunition (246 rounds per gun, 984 rounds in total)
- 114x SNEB rockets are devastating in both ground and air battles
Cons:
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
