I have noticed that F4U Airbrake dose not work in game like the rest of aircrafts I love doing vertical bombing with the Stuka with the Airbrake however I thought its not very important for F4U to have its airbrake so I never made a post since it has no bombs but it would be so much easier to land if it had so please can you add the airbrake feature either by pressing the landing gear that works as an airbrake or make a separated button like the rest of aircrafts if you cant make it 100% realistic since will be much easier landing in the pacific maps.

Corsair’s dive brake is built into the landing gear… i’d assume this is functional in game.
Yeah but it doesn’t work. You assume wrong 
try it no change in speed then use the airbrake on other aircrafts you can see how fast they slow down then F4U no effect at all when you use the landing gear.

I just tested, it does affect your speed. It’s just quite less pronounced than dedicated dive brakes like the Stuka’s.
I think it’s intended for high speeds and glide bombing (meaning soft angle dive bombing). Someone reported that in wt it keeps “the plane at under 700 km/h in a 60° dive”. Thing is you probably won’t get that much energy here in enlisted.

Here there is no effect at all I tried but its nothing comparable to other Airbrakes since they work perfectly this thing has no effect at all.
finally a plane suggestion for a allies that i agree and its not nonsense

Well the plane is very bad at BR V it needs a serious payload buff if its gonna stay BR V since it has to compete with Meteor also the mirrors dont work so you cant see what’s going on behind your back. So the plane has a lot other problems xD

no other ww2 plane can compete against the Meteor unless we go straigth into cold war with F-86 P-47 is an exception since we dont have ““tecnically”” a CAS jet yet but the day a variant of meteor made for cas is added i swear that P-47 spam will just stop for something even way worse
Well if we give the F4U the two missing bombs It will reduce the Meteor spam since some people will prefer it. But im a fan of carrier planes so cant wait to have real A6M2, A6M5 ,Seafire LF Mk.III and A7M2. Also other factions BR V planes need buff on their payloads.
even if the plane get bombs nothing will beat the fact that on less than 20 sec you would be arriving on obj instead of up to 30 secs with propper planes
Well yes it cant get better then a jet but at least can become somewhat playable since right now is useless in BR V.
it would tecnically still useless to my view but idc if bombs get added to F4U cuz it wont change meta or anything… luckly cuz meteor screwed things even more
Well jets in general but yes the meteor is the strongest Jet but the Soviet and the German one are not bad also also very OP or the premium US one even the Kikka i OP. They must give the K-4 also 500 kg bomb. Its not changing the meta just make them playable or move them to BR IV since almost all props at BR V are not even playable and the F4U was BR IV they moved it without buff to payload to BR V where its just not playable.
