Open the Portals (Bronze Trophy / 10 Gamerscore) What the Hellcat had, and what was so important, was more than enough power to maintain and regain energy during combat maneuvers – power the Wildcat did not have.Do everything we asked for and more! (PlayStation only). I’ve read a number of contemporary accounts from pilots that found the Wildcat lighter and more nimble than the Hellcat. I don’t know that the Hellcat was really more maneuverable than the Wildcat, though. Grumman’s F6F had better performance in every area than the F4F and was in my opinion the premier Navy fighter of the war (yes, more so than the Corsair, which was a truly outstanding fighter). Navy aviators such as O’Hare and Thatch also did great things with Wildcats. Six Marine aviators received Medals of Honor for their actions in Wildcats during the Battle of Guadalcanal. Navy and Marine pilots developed tactics that capitalized on the Wildcat’s strengths and made it very effective. The somewhat simplistic story many of us had read was that the Wildcat was outclassed by the Japanese Zeros and Oscars, but that isn’t quite true. The Wildcat was produced throughout the war with the F4F-3 being the first to see combat (as I recall), the F4F-4 adding folding wings, and the FM-2 (the “wilder Wildcat”) was the final version that was lighter, had amore powerful engine, and a taller tail to compensate for the added torque of the engine. By that logic we had the Corsair in the sim so there was no need for the Hellcat, and we have the F-35 so there’s no need for anything before it because who cares about anything but the latest and greatest?

Nobody who has any real interest in warbirds or aviation history in general would imply something so silly as that because we have the Hellcat in the sim there’s no reason to have the Wildcat. And it was Wildcats, relegated to escort carriers by that time while the fleet carriers had Hellcats, that threw themselves at the Japanese battleships without any anti-ship weapons at the Battle off Samar, even making fake strafing runs after their machine gun ammunition was expended to distract the enemy.

Planes like the Hellcat and Corsair may have won the air war over the Pacific, but the Wildcat is the plane that kept it from being lost before they could arrive. USMC Medal of Honor winner Henry Elrod sank a Japanese destroyer in a Wildcat at Wake Island, the first Japanese warship to be destroyed by American aircraft in the war. It was the Navy’s fighter at pivotal battles like Guadalcanal and Midway. It’s the plane men like Thach and O’Hare became famous in. It couldn’t match the A6M’s performance but it made up for that with ruggedness. The Wildcat was the plane that held the line for the US Navy in the early days of the war against the Zero.
