Author Topic: P-47: Most underestimated plane? (Read 2842 times)

The 47 used to be my main ride for the last couple of years before i had to quit AH. It is a kickass plane, and driven by a skilled person (everyone in the 56th) + bozon and im sure a few dozen others that have started playing while i was away.

Now that im finally back in AH, i havent flown it as much as the 109G6/K4 and the 190 A8 but i bet i will find my way back into the 47s again soon.

Afterall Mr. HiTech did model the N because i begged and whined for it for a couple of years.

Sometimes I have to dangle my big rudder at the high jugs to entice them to engage! But then again, at 22K who wants to fight anyway! hee hee j/k Platano
My fav jug is/was the d25 although the 11 pretty much pawns it!

Anything that can carry over 800 pounds of .50 cal ammo has got to be a hot ride...

P-47D11 and the N model are my favorites...

It's also the most beautiful plane in the game

Its a nice plane but.... given equal pilots and E a hog will kill it most of the time. A hog just does everything it does a little better. I have been in multiple hog vs 47 fights and hog just beats it, not by much and if the hog pilot screws up and the 47 pilot does not then it can change, but overall the hog will take it.

Love that pic Red

It also illustrated the best way to get from point A to point B

Perhaps, who cares? but there is a kill and there is a kill. Killing with an La7, F4U, spit 16 has no flash to it. Also, if I have to go down in flames, I'd rather do it with style!

I like it because I get the best screen captures and renderings with the 47.

Very cool pics!

Ya'all see the casings falling in many of the posted pics. You ever wonder if some poor grunt got hit by a rain of brass?

Nice pics there

I always wondered about the rain of steel from a heavy flak barrage. What was it like for folks living under that when gravity took over?
