The Corsair is a beautiful A/C. Gorgeous.Few people realize how huge and strong they are in size compared to a Spitfire.
A different style of aircraft altogether.

A dozen men could stand on the wings of a corsair, an impossible thing for a spitfire.

Intersting solution on the carry pod.But a Corsair could stay in the air a lot longer than a Spitfre, and fly much greater distances.

Everything you say about the Corsair is true, but I was talking about the Corsair II, a whole different animal.

Not as pretty as a Corsair or Spitfire, but it has a decided advantage in speed, range, distance and ordnance payload.
