Jug D40 vs. F4UD-1

I like both these rides,,,but trying to limit myself to fewer AC that I have in the stable

Im more intrested in opinions regarding Jabo and Overall performance, then ACM, but any info welcome

IMO...

DHog- real steady gun and bomb drop platform, Carrier Op's
and the fact that its Blue are positives for me

Jug40- Better Views, More Ord (though Hog has plenty),
new cockpit

Both dive and roll very nice,
Hog seems better in a scissors fight

Depends on your style really. I do well in the Hog (usually) but cant do squat i the Jug. Jug hauls a little more ord, but I'd give the edge to the Hog if things get slow. It has an edge in recovering from a stall that the Jug cant match. Those big wings and flaps give it a level of control when things get hairy that a Jug would be hard pressed to match. Plus the fact that its available as a carrier based plane or land based, so you increase your opportunities to get close to the action if you go with the Hog.

One other advantage, if you ever get a desire to really step up in performance for a few rides, the Hog gives you the option of spending some perks on the -4. That is one sweet ride. And of course, if you can fly the -1D well, you can always spend a few points and take the -1C out. Those quad 20mm will tear up anything you can get in your sights real quick. Just more variety to keep you happy if you go for the Hog.

F4U-1D

Once the ord is gone ... its a much better fighter ... slower than the Jug, but it kicks arse.

F4U. It is better for fighting, imo.

Ditto.

I like them both, but the better A2A performance of the F4U after it gets light outweighs the larger ord payload of the P-47. My favorite's of the F4U and P-47's are the -1 and the D-11 though, so you can see from that I dont focus much on Jabo.

I'm actually for the jug, I just can't seem to do much in the hog, but that probably just goes back to not knowing how to fly it because I just never do.

I guess to summarize: sometimes I go hoggin', but even then I prefer the jugs over everything else
