In the aftermath of the Guadalcanal scenario, we made a dogfigth between our brave pilots veterans of the imperial navy to the fine flower of the US pilots of 1945.
2 Corsairs and 1 Hellcat against our 3 Zeros.
Well ........ We can not be and have been..To be or not to be and so on.
In short the performances of the corsairs and Hellcat have nothing to do with their predecessors. It is better to move away from the devastating shootings of the Hellcat and the legendary fragility of the zeros does not help the case.
Balance sheet US 3 / Japan 1
A zero explodes in full flight at the very first shot of a corsair.
The hellcat fights against a poor samurai pilot and sends him to the bottom of the water. But, his engine burning, he exploded soon after.
The two corsairs threw themselves on the surviving Japanese and killed him.
The Hellcat, just before exploding, has time to admire its trophy in the waters of the Pacific.
