Briefly: The last series modification of the famous Corsair designed for the French navy, able to carry a variety of US and French-made bombs and rockets. Hey, tankers! How are you down there?
After the end of the Second World War, aircraft manufacturer Chance Vought continued perfecting its carrier-based Corsair fighter-bombers. Corsair fighters had already proved to be excellent attack planes during the war, and Chance Vought engineers wanted to improve the plane’s ability to destroy ground targets at low altitudes.
During the Korean War, AU-1 attack aircraft (F4U-6s) were put into service in the United States Marine Corps with improved pylons that allowed them to carry additional armament. Soon after the release of the AU-1, Chance Vought received an order for these carrier-based fighters from France. AU-1 attackers were supplied for the order, as well as AU-1s refitted with the engine from the F4U-4. (Because the F4U-4 cowl was a slightly different shape and size, its air intake was repositioned.)
These new fighters were given the designation F4U-7, and in 1953 the US began delivering them to France. The F4U-7 Corsairs were last series modification for this incredible carrier-based aircraft, and took part in armed conflicts in French Indochina, Algeria, and the Suez Crisis.
In addition to standard American suspended armament, the French also armed the F4U-7 with their own SNEB unguided rockets in containers with plastic nacelles, T-10 rockets, and 10 French high-explosive 100 kg bombs.
Interesting: The F4U-7 was also tested with the SS.11 anti-tank guided missile on its cantilever pylons. Unfortunately, this experiment was not particularly successful. Controlling a missle while flying the aircraft proved challenging at best, so the Corsairs with ATGMs were never used in combat.
In War Thunder, the F4U-7 will be part of the French aircraft tree. Its technical characteristics are virtually identical to the F4U-4B Corsair and include excellent speed and rate of climb, agile maneuverability, and four front-mounted 20mm cannons with a generous amount of ammunition.
The key difference between the F4U-7 and F4U-4B is that the F4U-7 features a wide selection of suspended armament. The standard armament (10 HVAR rockets, and either 10x250 lb, 4x500 lb or 3x1000 lb bombs) is supplemented with French-made ordnance also found in jet-powered aircraft: up to 114 SNEB unguided rockets, T-10 unguided rockets (on cantilever pylons, five on each wing), and 10x100 kg bombs.
The French F4U-7 Corsair is an excellent fighter plane and incredibly dangerous for ground targets. It will be terrorizing enemies in the air and on the ground when it arrives in War Thunder update 1.79!
See you soon!

Ouiche, ok thx
You'll be adding the AU-1 to the US tree at the same time instead of waiting months and months like the AD-4 and F-84G, right?
Any chance you guys are going to be fixing the AMX 13 SS 11 soon? As soon as you fire a rocket the rocket jumps in a random direction and it isn't lag or a visual bug. It is physically jumping in a random direction and bugs out and flies in a random jittery pattern. Its as if the rocket is having massive packet loss.
you know it would be nice if our community was truly appreciative for new content bein previewed........i mean good lord read the full dev blog and you peeps will see this plane is special to the french tech tree...it was never used by the USA and was used strictly by the french so ty Gaijin for adding a plane that will be unique for the french
Lol and and will the USA developer tree receive it over time?
Probably not, or maybe the F4U-6. The F4U-7 was only ever used by France, not by the USA itself.
The F4U-7 was unique to France. The US never operated it.
Too bad it's been given hvars which are completely useless.
You could use the SNEBs or the T-10 rockets that they specifically state it can also equip?
114 SNEB Rockets, that should be something you can work with.
Hmmm, ... meh
Will we get next a dev. BLOG about something german (not the leopard 2A)?
if it's German and not a proper Leopard 2 i'd be disppointed as will be 90% of all Germany players
Asgar1205, DO u actualy think germany is the only nation that should recieve vehicles (germany acutualy doesnt comapred to britan italy and french)
well i know the vehicle imma get first in this update
114 SNEBs are going to bring the pain. Fantastic.
