Which is better, A-6M Zero or the F4U Corsair

[Chocks away!]

Ok but don't underestimate the Jap pilots or the zero's small turning radius and climbing abilities.

The only thing the Zero had was low speed turning ability over the Corsair. The plane itself didn't have pilot skill to it's name.

That's because the Corsair was just better than the Zero, end of story. I think anyone with a bit of sense would have rather taken the Corsair into battle.

No'one is denying the Corsair was much better than the Zero, Plan_D.

But without its speed advantage the Corsair would be no match for the Zero, and all its other qualities would mean nothing.

That's a silly statement, really. That's like saying the Zero without it's turning abilities would be dump, while true is just a silly statement.

Why is it a silly statement ? Its true

But its silly argueing it, as in reality the Corsair 'was' much faster, and it gave the Zero a licking almost every time they met.
