So, we getting a P-47N!
« on: July 01, 2005, 02:35:29 PM »
Anybody wanna post its specs? I'm quite unfamiliar with it...

 How'd it handle compared to our D-40? Faster than the D-40? Climbs better? Longer range??

"... better roll performance than the D model. ...  In mock combat with a P-47D-25-RE, the new fighter proved to be notably superior in every category of performance. "

"Scorching along at 467 mph @ 32,000 ft., the N could not be caught by any fighter in regular service with any air force on earth with the single exception of its M model sibling. This combination of wing and engine had pushed the N model up to the top rank of the superlative prop driven fighters then in existence."


and it had phenominal range. More than the P-38 with full drop tanks. It did a lot of escorting of B-29's over Japan.

 Er, thanks to Mr Body and CC Jordan of course.

With that much speed it is nigh certain to be perked, probably in Spit XIV/F4U-4 price ranges.

OK then, one could say that since the TA152 is perked then the P47-N will be perked.  The P47-N is faster at altitude and I'll bet it handles better down low. Here's hoping it'll get a minimal perk cost if at all - say 15 points?

Why is the TA152 perked again (he said sarcastically)?


Thoughts?

I personally can't wait to roll a "N" with just the 6 50 cals, 50% petrol, and a drop tank.

P47 pilots need a "top of the line" jug not perked, like Fws have D9s, LA got La7s, 109s got K4 (G10).:D But then the MA will be swamped with P47Ns HO clone freaks, like every other FW is a D9.:(

~1700 produced ... KABAM! homie.

And the Spitfire has.....


That's right, there is no guarantee that you'll have a top end ride free.  Be thankful your top end free P-47 is actually from 1944 rather than 1942 as for Spitfire fans.

Karnak, stop hijacking a P47 thread with a repetitive Spitfire whining, rule #whatever. (Off course the top end non perked jug is from 1944 ... the Jug wasn't even a spermatozoid that the GrandPa-spit was chewing the LW).

The P-47N is useless for ToD. It only has real potential in the PAC, but the PAC plane set  is so full of wholes I doubt (and would hope) that HT doesn't go with some crappy substitute roulette plane set.

The P-47N is completely useless for any WETO set up. You would figure that with all the effort going into coding ToD that some effort would directed toward filling out the plane set for at least one theater/tour.

OH well, I am less interested in ToD with everyone update. I know a few others that feel the same way. It would appear ToD is all hype with out much substance and just slightly more interesting then the CT...

Maybe the N, will play the substitude role of the M in TOD-ETO?
