Voted for the Corsair cause it is the collest looking xD.

Corsair for me.. F6F very important but not close to my 'favorite' naval bird. IMO it (F$U) would have been distinctly superior in the ETO to any other naval fighter in any multi role environment.

I like both the Hellcat and Corsair, But since I'm partial to anything from Grumman, I picked the Hellcat. One tough, mean plane that took it to the enemy.

EASILY the F4U. Love that bird, and drgondog nailed it on the head.

F4U of course...and I see most of the Forum agrees. Tremendous performer, multirole, and it also brought you back home!

I like the Wildcat for its chubby and rugged look, and the Hellcat for the kill/death ratio. Anyway i did not vote for the corsair cause its more expensive to produce.
