Description

The F2G-1 "Super Corsair" is a premium gift rank IV American fighter with a battle rating of 5.3 (AB), 6.0 (RB), and 6.7 (SB). It was introduced during Update "New Power" as a reward for Battle Pass: Season I. The Super Corsair was a development made by Goodyear, a licensed manufacturer of the Vought F4U Corsair. The Super Corsair was intended by Goodyear as a low altitude fighter. Powered by the Wright 28 cylinder R-4360 "Corncob" engine, the Super Corsair made 3000 hp. By the time the Super Corsairs was ready for production the Grumman F8F "Bearcat" was already being built and had similar performance. Partially due to this, only 10 Super Corsairs were ever completed, 5 of which were the F2G-1 land variant found in game.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft 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).
