They were underpowered. (same engine as the much maligned F4F-3A but worse as at least the F4F3A had a supercharger) and had a tendency to ground loop.

Nice guns though, 2 x 20mm Hispano cannon and 4 x .303 which meant they saw extensive service as a close ground support aircraft.

The supercharged version actually compared favorably with the Mk V Spit but by then Mustangs were available and the Mk V was already being superseded so only one supercharged variant was ever made.
