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。
本機は戦後フランス海軍のために再設計され、実際に同海軍で運用されたF4Uシリーズの最終型ともいえる後期発展型です。
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.
This unit was re-designed for the French Navy after the war. This late model can be said to be the final F4U variant ever operated by the French Navy.
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).

Trivia
- The F4U-7 in KanColle is based on planes that served the French Navy. Based on the tail markings, this particular Corsair matches the aircraft from the "Aéronautique Navale 15ème Flotille" and they served aboard the La Fayette (ex USS Langley CVL-27). These planes were famous for their part in the Suez Crisis.
- The cow standing next to the fairy is based on the Béarn insigna.
