Regarding the F4U, my mistake I generalized the navy fighters. The F4U was an exception, good bombload of 2000lbs but only the late 1944-1945 version had a  4000lb bombload. I wouldnt say it had 4x the stukas bombload though. The stuka could carry from 500-1000 kilos of bombs which is around 1102-2204 kilos. As always though, fighters with a full bombload had to drop their loads before engaging enemy fighters since these fighter bombers would be vulnerable and at a big disadvantage with their loads, also bombsights should be taken into account, etc. Despite this fighter bombers like the F4U still had an excellent role in the war, just not a specialized one.
