Go try to fly this so called big bus (for example, D-11)...

(in lo alt fites)

Try applying "tricks"

When the situation gets ugly, extend ubermagnificent flaps...

Viola!!! now you can out turn ANY plane except for A6Ms and SPITFIRES and this plane wont tip stall like 109s 190s at slow speeds (back then i thought i was flying a P-38 in P-47 lol)

sounds gamey but works.

Is this Straiga, the F-14 pilot to whom the Navy has no record of awarding aviator's wings?

Or is this a new one?

You can do the same thing in a Hellcat and to some extent in Corsairs and Mustangs.  It's not gamey, it's what the planes can do.  Course in real life I doubt many pilots would have liked to get that low and slow in the first place as self-preservation would have been high on their list.

Please, many fighters out-turn the P-47D-11 in a stall fight. Stop making a big to-do about nothing.

All of the P-38s can fly circles around a P-47D-11 in that situation you describe.

The sky is not falling 1K3.

P38 can't out turn a P47 with powerups and a pilot with a wizard hat!
