Wiki info about F4U-1C

Official War Thunder wiki

The Chance Vought F4U Le Corsaire. The F4U-1C “Corsair” was a single-seater, single-engine carrier-based fighter. The unusual W-shaped wings of the F4U required propeller of a diameter of about four meters. Those were the biggest propellers ever used in a single-engine fighter. Therefore, a conventional wing would have required a significant extension of the landing gear, reducing their strength. So the Chance Vought designers decided to use a new wing design and keep the landing gear at a normal length. Wind tunnel tests proved the new wing design’s effectiveness. To reduce weight and improve aerodynamics, the plane’s design used spot welding. In 1943, the F4U-1C variant was developed. It differed mainly from the F4U-1A in its armament: instead of six machine guns, the plane had four 20-mm cannons. Because of its low rate of fire, the new Corsair was used primarily to attack ground targets and for nighttime interceptions and took practically no part in aerial fighter combat. The F4U-1C was produced on a relatively small scale. Only 200 were made.
