"N" goes 25 knots faster (more or less, alas doesn't climb as well) than D40---I usually toodle around by myself, and that 25 knots is often the difference between life and death---Spit16's, nikis, etc are left in its wake. LA7's, K4's, however.....

Has some truth in it, its large armament is probably one of the main characteristics people choose the P-47 for!

P-47D-25 > P-47D-40

Imo dogfights a lot smoother.

Or you could fly a Hog, or a P40, or an F6F.. Etc etc.. Point being, if you want to fly the Jug, I like it with 6 .50's instead of 8.. Personal preference, but I find that when I go dog fighting in a Jug and take 8 .50's, I never use all the ammo and I'm less manuverable.. No point..

Hell no, like I say all the time "If I wanted 6 50s, I'll get a P51".:furious

Those 8 50s rather than 6 might make the difference between a killshot or jug hitting the other guy in a snapshot. And in a P47 the longer the fight, the closer you are from the grave in an arena filled with Spit 16s and LA7s.

The 56th favor the D40 over the D25/D11 because of the 300HP WEP boost over the other models. The P47N is the fastest under WEP but is still plagued with a slow acceleration. Due to the weight increase, it's the worst dogfighter of the serie. The D11 is your best bet for dogfighting, it's the most nimble. I personally favor the D25 just because it comes with French markings.

Contrary to the popular "keep it fast" belief, I advise to "slow down as fast as u can". The jug will bleed the energy faster than any other plane, allowing you to cut inside the average spitodeath, providing your snapshot opportunity. The other strong point of the jug is the semi-eleptical wing that allows you to pull hard on the stick and not snapstall.

You can do a lot of fancy stuff with the jug, that might get you out of trouble, but know that against a decent pilot there's not much you can do against a faster/better turner like the MA usuall rides.

The main attribute of the jug aces in here is that they all have an excellent gunery, doted with a nose "700y cone of death".

Have fun bro :)

Disagree.  The WEP climb on the D40 makes it a much better plane.

Noticeable even to me.
