The Most Awestriking, Devastating Military Planes Ever

Standard armament for the F6F-3 and F6F-5 was 6×0.5 caliber M2 machine guns or 2x20mm cannons and 4×0.5 caliber machine guns. Optional armor included rockets in the under wing, drop bombs and torpedo center-line. The F6F Hellcats were known to make aces of pilots who flew them thanks to the fine build, and had landing gears that retracted backwards.
