    Manual Engine Control settings:
    -100% prop pitch
    -40% radiators
    High kill match in an interesting and controversial plane, the F4U-1C with 4 20mm cannons! Disliked by many due to its under average performance, it can still carry matches thanks to its great armament.
    Could have been 9-10 kills if I weren't generous towards the ground pounder. He didn't really live up to my expectations though.

    This has to be my favorite 4.7 aircraft for the U.S. tree. I had an interesting occurrence with either the F4U-1C or F4U-4. It was the first time I used MEC on a Corsair and was dragging 3 enemies down from altitude on Ruhr. I forgot to change supercharger gears from 2 to 1 when i got to the deck and the max engine rpm warning started flashing. I had to be going 380-420 mph IAS. As soon as I switched to gear 1 I lost 40 mph and got shot down in the following seconds. I haven't tried to recreate this situation but have wondered ever since how the supercharger would have been even working in a positive way on the deck.

      @@AdamTheEnginerd I mean with the Wyvern's speed and acceleration, you've got the time to hit a pillbox or a tank and still be perfectly safe, so why not pick up a little tip for your services? Also clues the Germans into the fact that you're there, which can grab the attention of some pilots that are thirsty for a kill but would have otherwise climbed.
      The sole exception is Advance to the Rhine. The rail yard is something like 32 ground targets, it's literally a free 10~20k lions on a loss without premium. Frankly that amount of pure profit is too much to justify ignoring with how the game's economy is atm.

      @@AdamTheEnginerd they're useless if they're in a plane that isn't straight up faster than basically everything else at their BR. Not to mention, baiting on the deck is the best option with the Wyvern. My team isn't going to climb anyway, and if I try to climb and bait and fuck it up or the enemy gets lucky, they still have energy and I have nothing. If I can drag them to the deck, they now have no energy, so even if they manage to nail me they're effectively out of the fight. Plus, the closer I can get the fight to sea level, the more I can leverage the natural quirks of a turboprop against my pursuers and reverse the situation on them.

    If only I was this good back when I was still stuck at Rank III, spading this thing...armament is good, hits like a truck even on glancing blows, but it is difficult to aim due to the weight, which can cause you to leak energy like a sieve if you're not careful. I'm still confused as to how your "side-to-side roll" reversal works, even after seeing all your recent Corsair videos and the Reversals video (of all the times I tried that trick in a Corsair, I only succeeded once, using the much faster -4 variant against a G.55S). That's why I prefer flying heavy fighters like the P-38L-5LO and luring the enemy into vertical energy traps instead.

    Back in 2014 when I used to fly the 1c almost exclusively, it was one of the best planes at its tier. However at one point they did some changes to some of the flight models, the 1c included and it rendered it almost completely unplayable. After 1 week of still playing and observing its behavior I noticed something staggering.. by default the tail elevator’s position was sitting in an unnatural state, causing massive drag thus preventing it from efficiently climbing and rolling, as it was creating additional force pulling vectors in other directions. This could be fixes by trimming the elevator right at match start. And surprise, the plane performed amazingly again.

    The reason why a lot of people "hate" it is just for the ludicrous battle rating; basically it's just a F4U-D with cannons, It has the same dynamic performances of a 3.7... and when you encounter all that fancy high rating japanese, german and italian planes, all with a better climb speed as well as their usual better turning performance... everything becames more and more frustrating.

    Nice dodge & aim Adam!..
    I tried to practice energy trap like what you do in F6F-5/P-47 play with P-47-28.
    I made a pass to german P47 lower than me(about 800m, maybe same speed) and boom to oppsite side of his head to lure him to follow me.
    I thought, "Yeah, I have more alt and same speed. I can E-trap on him with slight spiral climb."
    of course, German P47 just climb up very easy and get my six.
    then I was needed to have more energy? or Not good to do E -trap tactic on same plane?
    What was my fault? I hope your opinion!

      Thanks!
      Sounds like he might have had more speed than you, or you went vertical in an angle that made it easy for him to line up and shoot. 800m energy advantage is a tiny bit on the low side, but D28 vs D25 with 800m advantage should be enough with a proper spiral climb.

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  Před 4 lety

      It depends on the situation, planes involved, speeds, etc. Generally you want them to get as close as possible while still being able to dodge their shots. Around 400m in general I'd say.

    You can use F4U gears as air brakes in some situations. They cant rip off at all, and this usage even mentioned in its fly manual. Also its supercharger gears are broken completely in game, because when you use 100% your switching alt from 1 to 2 is 1200 m, but on WEP it is 200 m...

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  Před 4 lety

      They rip at around 750+km/h, but yeah effectively you can use them. They do worse your high speed turn though.

      Adam is using manual engine control (MEC). you can find the options for it under "full real controls" and have to set the keybindings for it. there are tutorials on the setup out there. If you activate it (can be activated/deactivated with the press of a button in a match once set) then the game itself won't regulate things like the supercharger or radiators.
      My advice is, if you are just starting out with planes, to not use it until you can get consistent good results in your games. MEC can help with performance, but is overall not needed to do well.
      There is no set "when to use it".At which altitude to use a supercharger differs from plane to plane. Some planes overheat easily, so you might have the radiator open more than on others (f.e. a spitfire overheating easily will have the radiators set higher than fw190 which barely overheats).
