Goodyear Aircraft Company was one of two companies that were building F4U Corsairs during World War 2. GAC decided to take a chance in developing the F2G, also known as the Super Corsair. The F2G-1 was a land-based variant intended to be a low-altitude interceptor while the F2G-2 was intended for naval operations. GAC planned to modify the original Corsair airframe with improvements like a new bubble-type canopy. The most notable addition was the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major, a 28-cylinder radial engine that could produce an impressive 3,000 horsepower. Ten F2Gs were produced until production was canceled in 1945 due to the superior F8F Bearcat. Performance deficiencies in testing and engine issues also doomed the Super Corsair from further production.
Introduced in Update "New Power", the F2G-1 was a reward for Battle Pass: Season I, 75th Anniversary of the Great Victory. The F2G has stellar low-altitude performance but struggles at higher altitudes due to the lack of a usable supercharger gear. The Super Corsair also has excellent flaps which greatly help with dogfighting enemies. It's also armed with six .50 cal machine guns and has access to bombs and rockets. The F2G is a very dangerous aircraft in the right hands especially with its incredible dive speed and handling.
