F4U-1C model changed?
#2

Some of the FM's were fixed, but to my knowledge, not the F4's.
Your biggest problem was trying to climb against a P-47D (27 Late).
The P-47 has the same engine as the F4 with the addition of the Turbo Charger, giving it an additional 300-500 HP with WEP.

While the F-4U has good handling from the deck to 15-18k ft. The P-47D excels from 8k ft to 35k ft. It just gets faster the higher it goes.
The F-4U has a VERY nasty stall characteristic with regard to the left wing. As you begin to stall, the left wing dips sharply and snaps over.
If you've sustained any control surface damage, your chances of recovery as severely hampered.

S!
