In the upcoming War Thunder update 1.71 “New E.R.A.” we present two new fighters and a complete remodeling of the legendary Corsair series.
The F4U-4 and F4U-4b were developed during WWII based on the combat experience of the previous versions of this carrier-based fighter aircraft. Modernisation led to a significant boost in speed and max altitude, as well as improved attack capabilities. The F4U-4, armed with reliable .50 calibre guns, and the F4U-4b autocannon-armed variant, both received the new R-2800-18W engine and huge four-bladed propellers. A new weapon carriage system allowed the Corsair to easily transform into a highly effective ground striker, and the modifications also allowed it to take on the role as a fast fighter-bomber.

We choose three universal presets for the versions in War Thunder: 8 HVAR rockets, 2x1,000 lbs, or 2x500 plus 4x250 lbs bombs. The F4U-4 was intensively used during the war in the Pacific, including the battle for Okinawa, the Tokyo raids, and many others. Following WWII, the F4U Corsair fought in the Korean war as well.
New F4U-4, equipped with six Browning machine guns, will be added to Rank III in the US carrier-based fighters line, followed by the F4U-4b with 20mm cannons at rank IV.

Also, we have completely remodelled the entire F4U Corsair series in-game. Make sure you see how stunningly beautiful they have become in the upcoming War Thunder update 1.71 “New E.R.A.”! See you there!

is their a eta on the updates release?? (plz i need the object 120)
but why I mean ya it has a 152mm with HEATFS APFSDS and great projectile speed but no armor slow in RB and the T-64 has a faster projectile speed faster more armor
Gaijin, where do you get these sick guitar riffs?
Models look stunning but I'm perplexed as to why the ordnance variety is so limited when these aircraft could carry loads far in excess of those portrayed in the game? Any plans for the 2x Tiny Tim and 8xHVAR loadouts or napalm/fuel air bombs that these could actually carry?
Why have you updated their models but not given them their historically accurate ordanance loadouts?! :(
If you think that any aircraft ordnance is wrong, please submit a bug report with documents that prove your claim and we will fix it.
Stona_WT, No worries, do you only accept first hand sources i.e. technical documentation or are photographs and second hand sources suffice? Technical documentation only gives a max payload so it would be a case of trawling through loads of USN mission records for what was loaded for various sorties.
Just a quick question to the devs: Are the F4U-4 and F4U-4B the same in terms of engine performance and boost? So the only difference is .50cals and 20mm?
pretty sure that's the only difference..
Spicy.
Great, now can you remodel and retexture the hideous early-PS3 A6M zeros, please? All Japanese players will have an A6M in their deck - and it is extremely embarrassing when you realize how dated the current A6M model/textures are. It is long overdue and I am getting a little bit tired of waiting - the A6M Zero series should definitely be next on the "new model" list, because the current models look horrendous.
Dont worry! older models are updated from time to time to bring them up to current standards! I think the Devs will do a fantastic job when their time comes
This.. Is.. BEAUTIFULL!!!!!
Please please please Gaijin fix the bug for Mac Users. The game has been broken for 2 weeks now. Documented Bug [0060576]
So it's clear that the patch will be after September 18 and later
I am hoping it will be this week.
