Quote:There are many things that are not historic in IL-2. One is the 5" HVAR's weren't introduced until F4U-1Ds and FG-1Ds showed up late 1946.
The F4U-1D entered combat in September of 1944 in the battle for Palau.
The HVAR entered combat on the F4U-1D in February of 1945, VF-84 used a lot of them during their deployment aboard the Bunker Hill, so they would have been available for most of 1945.
