Introduction
高性能艦上戦闘機として開発が進められたF4U、戦闘爆撃機として優れた発展性を持つ本機の強化改良戦闘爆撃機型である各バージョンは、
大戦後も航空母艦で運用され、マルチロールな活躍ぶりを発揮、戦闘爆撃機として長い間現役を務めます。
本機は小型の単座戦闘爆撃機でありながら、並みの重爆撃機を遥かに超える爆装が可能な、重戦闘攻撃機バージョンです。
The F4U was developed as a high-performance carrier-based fighter. Since it showed great potential as a fighter/bomber, improvements and upgrades have produced several variants.
These variants have continued to be operated from carriers even after World War II, a multi-role fighter/bomber with a long and distinguished service.
Though the F4U is a small single-seat fighter/bomber, this unit is the heavy fighter/bomber variant capable of carrying more bombs than an ordinary heavy bomber.
Mechanics
Dive Bombers are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to do damage during the Airstrike, with their "Dive Bombing" 
stat being the most important factor in this regard. Dive Bombers are additionally needed for dealing damage during day Shelling, especially for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI).
- They are vulnerable to shoot down during most Aerial Combat phases.
- They bring some accuracy bonus against PT boats.
- They cannot attack Installations unless they are Anti-Installation Dive Bombers.
This plane has Anti-Air Resistance.
- 0.6 Ship AA Modifier
Notes
Not to be confused with other aircraft of this family (see here).
