Re: Corsair -v- Me109 or Fw190?

The final three (3) Corsair aerial victories were achieved in 1969. The Corsair remained in production until late 1953 and was operational against MiG-15s throughout the Korean Conflict.

On the other hand, the Luftwaffe knew that the Fw-190A series was obsolete in 1943 and was hoping against all hope that the Ta-152C and H series would replace them.

Isn't it absurd to think that any Fw-190A series aircraft stood a whisper of a chance against the Corsair?

A fixed wing version of the Corsair would have have reduced its all-up weight and made it even more lethal.

I love the Focke Wulf, but the Corsair would have murdered them--all of them.
