The FM-2 Wildcat ended up being created and prototyped by Grumman Aircraft. A lot more than 4000 were built by the Eastern Aircraft Division of the General Motors Company between 1943 - 1945. These aircraft incorporated a lighter airframe and a more effective motor. This suggested there was a physical design distinction between the F4F while the FM-2. The FM-2 had a taller vertical end for stability to counter the increased torque associated with engine. Armament consisted of 4 - .50 cal. guns, 2 - outside bomb or fuel racks and air to ground rocket launch points on wings. These aircraft were primarily operated from escort providers to guide ground operations into the Pacific movie theater of operations. These same aircraft had been teamed with Grumman Avengers and used in anti-sub operations inside Atlantic against U-boats.
