If you had read this thread, you would see I posted some documents and links to them about carriers and the Corsair and other aircraft.. the carrier types and the years used... (you think the catapults were there for decoration??

You think the Corsairs only took off with a stinking 1,000 pounds of weapons loadout at most with that huge freaking power plant engine?). How you balance your fuel load and wepons load is up to you. I personally only use 50% fuel with a weapons load in the 2 to 3 thousand pound range,,, In real life that is about the loadout used. I consider that fully loaded.

Previous to having no catapult working, you could not use what was in real life. The modder righted a huge wrong.

I had carefully read the links and infos you posted. But, since you claim "Do you think Corsairs only took off with a stinking 1,000 pounds of weapons loadout at most with that huge freaking power plant engine?" , I think you haven't read them well.

Carrier-based operations for Corsairs with heavy bomb loads were more questionable. The pilots of VMF-124 and VMF-213, newly assigned to the Essex, experienced many problems with the loaded Corsair. However, after several operational crashes, [color=red]they decided that the Corsair could carry a 1,000-pound bomb
