The pilot had to carefully determine the Corsair's takeoff velocity.A number of factors contribute to the value of the Corsairs in the job they did in Korea. Ability to carry an exceptionally heavy bomb and rocket load for a fighter. Records show that the Corsairs have carried as much as 5,000 pounds to their targets.

The Corsair by a bit, official top speed for the P-51D was 440 mph, and the F4U-4 at 446 mph, but the two are so close as to practically identical. But…
The Navy actually evaluated the F4U-4 vs the Bf 109G-4, Fw 190A-6 and P-51B Mustang in simulated combat and the Corsair clearly came (mostly) out on top in all contests, in terms of sheer combat.
What were the disadvantages of the Corsair F4U : The F4U was capable of more than 400 mph, but the cockpit was well back on the fuselage creating line-of-sight issues for pilots, and the aircraft had a tendency to bounce on landing, something not desirable for aircraft carrier use.

Was the P51 better than the zero
The Zero had amazing range due to its very light weight and it's much undersized 940 hp engine. At low speed it was also supremely maneuverable. Aside from these two factors, the P-51 was far superior!
