No,you’re wrong.
It’s a Crusader.
Gun ports on the chin, scoop on the afterburner petals, bunch of other things.

The A-7 was derived from the Crusader design, with lots of differences, like a Gatling cannon, single Sidewinder rails on fuselage, rounded Radom.

That’s a picture from a video game.

Correct. Illustration is of a later F8K Crusader with wing pylons that could carry a Bullpup missile, which makes it look like a Corsair. It’s different than the classic clean-wing look of the early Crusaders that only had Sidewinder missile rails on the fuselage sides.

I wondered too for a while until looking it up, but as you said, the four Colt cannon (two per side on the nose) were only on the Crusader.
