Try flying with the 6 gun package instead of 8 when you're in fighter mode.. Makes the wings alot lighter and still has a good punch..

Other than that.. Speed, Alt, and when in trouble, flaps flaps flaps... One of the best characteristics of the Jug is you can drop one notch of flaps at 300mph+.. If you keep dropping them into the turn and throw in some rudder, you can stop on a dime and force an overshoot much easier than in other planes.. But, once you've gotten yourself into that situation just hope you have friends..

kk but what bout like the flaps. i do not see any guages or levers like in some planes so i cant tell were flaps are

Also do 47s turn better with/ or without flaps

Jugs have 5 notches of flaps.. You just gotta count..

And yes absolutely positively Jugs turn better with flaps.. Learn to use them.. End of story..

Flaps indicator can be found just by the gear indicator:
(In this pic you can see flaps being two notches down)

Find Blukitty , Nomde , Frenchy , Hajo , BatfinkV , TrKid , Platano , YUCCA and any of the 56th FG and several others. Wanna learn the 47 , those would be my starting point. When you can hang with those folks for more than a couple of turns , and even get a CHANCE at a shot , you will be half as good as they are.

FLAPS FLAPS FLAPS....Throttle control, extremley good SA and the last thing is....you'll NEVER need to look for a fight. People see JUG they think easy kill.

Til its someone from above and they get whipped.

Rudder also helps bleed the E when you are trying to force the overshoot.

Just be warned, you may only get one shot and won't be able to catch him as he runs / climbs away. Also, if there are any other bad guys about, you will have shot your bolt.

Regards,
